Bayview, SF 94124 5258018 2 units · 1 fl · 1911

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1453 Hudson Ave 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.

Built 1911
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

This one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1453 Hudson Ave in the Bayview neighborhood, was constructed in 1911 and is currently owned by Jenifer E S & Robert C Lake. The building's maintenance record shows several significant events, with the most recent being a sewage back-up incident from the side sewer vent in December 2024. Previous repairs include vehicle impact damage restoration to the front entrance stair in 2012, and gas line inspection and tagging that same year. There have been multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to street cleaning issues including garbage, debris, and abandoned vehicles, with several cases resolved through outreach and enforcement. A sewage incident was recorded in December 2024, marking the most recent infrastructure-related issue. The building had one fire complaint in 2011 regarding blocked exits, which was promptly corrected, and there was a smoke scare incident recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported. While the property has undergone some necessary repairs and maintenance over the years, the recent pattern of street cleaning and waste management issues in the immediate vicinity, particularly throughout 2024, may indicate ongoing challenges with neighborhood maintenance systems.

Risk rating

How 1453 Hudson Ave'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
23rdpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 294 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
