Bayview Heights, SF 94124 5465053 2 units · 2 fl · 1925

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 1645-1647 Bay Shore Blvd 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 1925

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 1925
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 1645-1647 Bay Shore Blvd is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Gloria M. St. Thomas. The building's history reveals persistent issues with unauthorized unit conversions, with the most significant violation occurring in 2008 when illegal modifications were discovered in the ground level, including an unauthorized separate unit with its own entrance, three bedrooms, bathroom, and kitchenette with gas stove. This violation prompted several enforcement actions and required permits to convert the unauthorized space back to storage, including comprehensive removal of kitchen and bathroom facilities in 2006 and 2008, with costs totaling $15,000. These violations included serious safety concerns such as lack of smoke detectors, inadequate emergency egress, unapproved electrical wiring and plumbing, and questions about fire-resistant construction materials.

The building has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues over the years, with a significant complaint recorded in 1995 regarding severe water leaks, heating problems, and plumbing issues, which currently remains active. Additional historical complaints from 2000-2001 documented various maintenance issues including inadequate bathroom ventilation, security concerns with windows and doors, pest problems, and questions about unit legality. More recently, the property has been the subject of numerous parking-related complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, primarily involving vehicles parking on the sidewalk, with several citations issued, though these are unrelated to the building's habitability conditions. The most recent permit activity includes a completed gas houseline extension in 2014. The property's documented history shows a pattern of unit conversion violations, safety concerns, and maintenance issues that have required multiple governmental interventions to address.

Risk rating

How 1645-1647 Bay Shore Blvd'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
48thpercentile

Out of 54 buildings in this neighborhood, 28 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
