Potrero Hill, SF 94107 4004001 5 units · 2 fl · 1900

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 1401-1407 Mariposa 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
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 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 property at 1401-1407 Mariposa Street is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill, built in 1900 and currently owned by Eleanor Lorraine Thompson R. The building has experienced recurring issues with dry rot over the years, with documented repairs needed in 2006 (back stairs), 2009 (siding), and as far back as 1998. A significant renovation occurred in 2017 with a kitchen replacement project costing $20,500, which included electrical and plumbing work, and was completed successfully with relative safety inspections showing normal results. The building underwent several routine housing inspections between 2004 and 2015, including an illegal unit investigation in 1999, which was resolved by February 2000. While there were some maintenance concerns in the 1990s, including broken shower doors, these appear to have been addressed.

The property has experienced various incidents in recent years, with the most recent issues being a series of graffiti incidents in 2023-2024 and one driveway blocking incident in early 2024. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural issues, particularly with the back stairs and siding, though some older permits for repairs have expired. The building had multiple routine safety inspections, and while there was a cancellation of a legalization permit in 1989, other historical records indicate efforts to comply with municipal codes. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as graffiti and public infrastructure concerns rather than building-specific problems, with the most recent cases being resolved through standard city services.

Risk rating

How 1401-1407 Mariposa 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
32ndpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 494 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
