Inner Mission, SF 94110 3641038 6 units · 1 fl · 1906

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 3167 23Rd 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 1906
2 or more units

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1906
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 property at 3167 23rd Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2003-2004, the building underwent extensive repairs including window, bathroom, sink, and flooring repairs, roof replacement, and heating system upgrades, with a total estimated cost of $25,000 plus $8,780 for roofing alone. During this period, the property faced multiple violations related to interior surfaces, plumbing, and electrical systems, including issues with mold/mildew, water damage, floor covering, and various fixture repairs, all of which were officially abated by February 2004.

The building's infrastructure was further improved through a series of important upgrades, including electrical system modernization with meter replacements (2006), rear cottage electrical repairs (2003), and a complete sewer replacement (2009). More recent maintenance includes street space usage permit in 2009 and gas heater replacement in 2004. The property underwent routine housing inspections in 2011 and 2014, and while there have been numerous 311 calls in the vicinity since 2022, most relate to public space issues rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent building-related complaint was in 2024 regarding general cleaning, which remains open. A notable current issue is a collapsed sidewalk reported in March 2023, which is still listed as open. The building's last recorded planning action was for a DPH referral related to Cottage Food Operator status, which was approved.

Risk rating

How 3167 23Rd 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
58thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1000 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

Number of units

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

Neighborhood location
