1349 Rhode Island St

Potrero Hill, SF 94107 4259021 2 units · 2 fl · 1908

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 1349 Rhode Island 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.

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.

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 two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1349 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Calvillo Family Trust, has been experiencing a recurring issue with sidewalk parking violations in recent years. Since July 2023, there have been ten documented incidents of vehicles parking on the sidewalk or blocking driveways, with most cases being reported through the Parking Enforcement Dispatch system. The most recent violation occurred on Christmas Day 2024, resulting in a citation being issued, while several other incidents this year also resulted in citations or were otherwise officially addressed by responding officers. While some cases were marked as "Unable to Locate" or "Issue reported could not be validated," the pattern suggests an ongoing concern with parking compliance in the vicinity of the property. The building, constructed in 1908, is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure, typical of the Potrero Hill neighborhood's multi-family residential offerings.

Risk rating

How 1349 Rhode Island 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.
