Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 1181-1183 Valencia 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.

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 three-unit, three-story apartment building at 1181-1183 Valencia Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, built in 1900, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with particular attention to safety systems and structural integrity. Most recently, in April 2023, a $14,500 reroofing project was permitted to replace the existing flat roofing with modified bitumen system. Between 2014 and 2017, major improvements included the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building and garage ($8,700), foundation work ($20,000), and the successful legalization of a ground floor unit, which involved substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades including a 225-amp service upgrade, new circuits, and smoke detector installations.

The building experienced some construction-related issues in late 2012, with multiple complaints filed regarding unauthorized work and electrical disruptions during renovations, though these complaints are no longer active. Since then, the property has seen systematic improvements to address safety and compliance requirements, including the installation of central heating systems, foundation repairs, and various unit improvements. Records show consistent attention to building maintenance and safety upgrades, with no recent complaints or violations on file, suggesting improved compliance with building codes and regulations. The most recent significant work, the 2023 roofing project, indicates ongoing investment in the building's infrastructure by the owner, Celeste D. Smith.

Risk rating

How 1181-1183 Valencia 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
51stpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1166 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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