Potrero Hill, SF 94107 4162020 3 units · 2 fl · 1941

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 808-810 Arkansas 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 1941

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 1941
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 808-810 Arkansas Street in Potrero Hill is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1941 and currently owned by the Grant Yonehiro Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, including a complete reroofing (2014, $26,850), window replacements (2014, $1,000-$1,200), and a roof deck installation (2015, $15,000) which reportedly created some compliance issues as it was initially constructed without proper permits in early 2015 before being properly permitted and completed. The building experienced multiple code violations in 2004, primarily related to fire safety concerns including fire extinguisher maintenance, combustible storage, and alarm system repairs, all of which were abated by May 2004. A routine inspection in 2007 revealed additional fire safety and security issues that were subsequently addressed. Recent maintenance records show ongoing attention to the property's needs, with multiple structural maintenance requests being handled through the Recreation and Park Department's maintenance team, though there are currently two open cases from 2024 related to electrical issues and excessive noise.

The building's historical records show a mix of compliance and enforcement history, with the most significant issues arising in 2004 when multiple fire safety and security violations were documented and addressed. A notable incident occurred in 2004 regarding an unauthorized penthouse construction that was ultimately resolved. The property has generally maintained compliance with building codes since then, though the 2015 roof deck installation created some temporary permit-related issues that were resolved through proper permitting processes. Recent 311 calls suggest ongoing maintenance attention is being paid to the property, with several issues being promptly addressed through appropriate channels. The most recent planning records indicate closed cases relating to both roof deck replacement and the previously unauthorized penthouse construction, suggesting these issues have been adequately resolved through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 808-810 Arkansas 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
19thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 588 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
