Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights, SF 94110 3617037 12 units · 2 fl · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 65 Hill St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1900

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1900
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 65 Hill Street, owned by the Wilson Family Trust, dates back to 1900 and is situated in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property, which is classified as a two-story apartment building, has undergone several significant renovations over the past few decades, most notably a unit merger in 1994 that reduced the count from four to three legal flats. Recent improvements include a filed permit in October 2023 for repairs to an existing exterior rear deck, and a substantial kitchen and bathroom renovation in 2014 of Unit B incorporating skylight installation, with associated plumbing and electrical work valued at $50,000. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades, including three solar panel installations (most recently in 2011 with a 2 kW system), an electric vehicle charging circuit installation in 2011, and HVAC improvements including duct system replacement and furnace upgrade in 2011.

The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding building complaints, with only four noted incidents between 1998-2006, none of which remain active. These included a roof collapse in 1998 (quickly addressed within days) and a brief investigation of an illegal unit that was resolved within two days. Routine housing inspections in 2002 and 2006 did not result in any ongoing concerns. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with multiple bathrooms remodeled, windows replaced, and roofing work completed. Recent 311 calls have primarily been for parking enforcement issues in 2019 and 2021, and a resolved garbage/debris case in December 2024, none of which directly related to building conditions or tenant concerns. The most recent building permit activity, involving rear deck repairs, suggests ongoing attention to property maintenance, though it is notable that several earlier permits from the 1990s (reroofing in 1999 and a bathroom remodel in 2007) were marked as expired rather than completed or closed.

Risk rating

How 65 Hill St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
8thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1176 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
