Potrero Hill, SF 94107 4064019 3 units · 3 fl · 1904

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 469-473 Mississippi 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 1904
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 1904
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 multi-family residential building at 469-473 Mississippi Street in Potrero Hill is a three-story flats & duplex structure built in 1904, currently owned by George and June McLaughlin. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades, with the most recent major work being the replacement of three 70-amp subpanels in November 2024. Historical maintenance records show regular attention to basic infrastructure, including multiple roof replacements (most recently in 2008 at a cost of $7,000) and a comprehensive window replacement project in 2007 involving six aluminum windows and three wood windows across units 469 and 471.

The building has experienced some safety and maintenance issues over the years, including a 2001 repair of rotted portions of rear stairs and landings, and a 2005 fire safety inspection that resulted in three violations related to combustible materials, means of egress obstruction, and hazardous waste accumulation - all of which were subsequently closed. Two routine housing inspections (1999 and 2009) were conducted with no active violations noted. More recent concerns include an open sidewalk defect complaint from July 2022 regarding a collapsed sidewalk near the property. The building's plumbing and electrical systems have received regular attention, including the recent subpanel updates and earlier modifications such as a stacked washer dryer installation in 2000.

Risk rating

How 469-473 Mississippi 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
38thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 450 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.

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.

Building age

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