Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The 800 Indiana Street property, currently owned by Avb Opera Warehouse Lp, is a 1-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, with a planned 326-unit residential development that includes significant modern amenities and infrastructure upgrades. The building has undergone substantial renovations and systems upgrades, with the most recent work focusing on emergency responder radio coverage systems (ERRCS), including a $40,000 antenna replacement permit issued in June 2024 to comply with new standards. The property has experienced recurring issues with boiler permit compliance, with multiple violations recorded in August 2021 for eight different boilers, all of which were abated by September 2021. There have been three documented fire code violations in recent years (2024, 2022, and 2021), primarily related to alarm systems and ERRCS permits.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 800 Indiana 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.

Property type

Not rent-controlled. Buildings constructed after 1978 are generally exempt from SF rent increase limits under the Costa-Hawkins Act.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 2018
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Likely exempt from AB 1482. Housing with a certificate of occupancy issued within the previous 15 years is exempt from the state rent cap and just-cause rules.

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.

Risk rating

How 800 Indiana 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
0thpercentile

Out of 74 buildings in this neighborhood, 74 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

2026
Planning Record Aug 15
COMPLAINT SUBMITTED: I request review of possible noncompliance with conditions of approval for 800 Indiana Street, Planning Case 2011.1374KX. Location: Avalon Dogpatch Dog Park in the unaccepted dead-end portion of the 20th Street right-of-way immediately north of 800 Indiana Street (Block 4105/Lot 009), with entrance from Indiana Street. The Commission materials describe the project’s public-realm improvements as including a public dog park. The approval also states: “The Project Sponsor shall maintain the main entrance to the building and all sidewalks abutting the subject property in a clean and sanitary condition” in compliance with Public Works standards. On August 13, 2026, I documented recurring dog feces and a strong urine odor. SF311 cases 101004621449, 101004621458, and 101004621459 remain open. Avalon opened a maintenance request and marked it resolved on August 14. On August 15, the park was still dirty, a new pile of dog feces was beside the entrance, and a strong odor remained throughout much of the park. Public Works record 15ME-0011 says maintenance is governed by an Encroachment Maintenance Agreement. Public-records request 26-7533 seeks the executed agreement and current responsible party. I am not asserting who currently holds the full park-maintenance obligation. Please determine whether the conditions at the entrance or within the park constitute noncompliance with Case 2011.1374KX or its sidewalk-maintenance condition. If they do not, please refer this complaint to the appropriate department and record that disposition in the complaint file. The recurring waste and odor have not been durably resolved by spot cleanup; an inspection and a reliable cleaning and maintenance plan appear warranted.
