Bayview, SF 94124 5322027 2 units · 2 fl · 1900

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 1663 Oakdale 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1900
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

1663 Oakdale Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Keren Li Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, most notably a series of violations in January 2001 that included problems with heating system temperature control, lighting, plumbing, handrails, interior surfaces, rodent infestation, and the absence of smoke detectors - all of which were abated by March 2001. In 2018, there was an incident involving a fence-related injury that resulted in concerns about structural safety, though this was ultimately resolved by July 2018. More recently, the building received a permit for re-roofing work with asphalt shingles in August 2024, valued at $12,000, which indicates ongoing maintenance of the property.

The building's history also includes some infrastructure-related concerns, such as a 1998 complaint regarding shared sewer lines with the neighboring property, which was resolved within three months. The electrical infrastructure was upgraded in 2009 with an underground service conversion. Recent maintenance suggests regular upkeep, though there have been occasional neighborhood-related issues documented through 311 calls, primarily concerning parking violations and street cleaning matters. The most recent documented issue was a water complaint in March 2019, which was resolved. The property's violation history, while extensive in 2001, shows no active violations, and all previous violations have been resolved, indicating improved maintenance practices in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1663 Oakdale 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
64thpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 138 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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