404 Naples St

Excelsior, SF 94112 6078001 3 units · 2 fl · 1930

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.

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 404 Naples 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 before 1979
Built 1930

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

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 1930
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 three-unit apartment building at 404 Naples Street in the Excelsior neighborhood is a 2-story, 1930 structure owned by Jacques A & Sheila Vidrine. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent major improvements occurring in 2017, including reroofing ($10,000), bathroom updates in Unit 2, and associated plumbing work. Prior improvements include substantial kitchen renovations in 2005 (approximately $28,000 combined for cabinets, sink, and electrical work) and wall heater replacement in 2016.

The property has a history of code compliance issues, particularly in 2006-2007, when multiple violations were documented related to mold/mildew, interior surface maintenance, and unauthorized modifications (illegal attic studio). These violations were reportedly abated by February 2007. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including two reroofing projects (1997 and 2017) and various unit-specific improvements. Recent activity within the vicinity of the building (2023-2024) has primarily involved parking-related complaints, with multiple citations issued for illegal parking and abandoned vehicles, though these appear to be external to the building's direct operations.

Risk rating

How 404 Naples 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
21stpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 266 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
