267 San Jose Ave

Inner Mission, SF 94110 6514017 8 units · 2 fl · 1961

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 267 San Jose 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 1961
2 or more units

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 1961
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-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 267 San Jose Ave, built in 1961 and currently owned by Robert J Maron Lvg Tr, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements, with the most recent work completed in October 2023 involving kitchen relocations in Unit 8 and associated plumbing and electrical upgrades. The property has seen substantial unit improvements over the past decade, including complete remodels of multiple units (1, 2, 3, 7, and 8) featuring kitchen and bathroom upgrades, with costs ranging from $18,000 to $70,000 per unit. A mandatory soft-story retrofit was successfully completed in 2017 (Tier 3) at a cost of $65,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The building has experienced several maintenance and habitability issues in the past, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in late 2008 when multiple problems were recorded including plumbing issues, interior surface violations, and a bedbug infestation, though all were resolved by February 2009. Two complaints regarding alleged improper commercial cooking activities in Unit 3 were filed in 2014 but have since been marked as not active. Recent years have shown consistent investment in building maintenance and improvements, with no active violations or complaints currently on record. The property's maintenance history indicates regular upkeep of common systems, including electrical upgrades, window replacements, and general unit modernization, with particular attention paid to updated kitchen and bathroom facilities across multiple units. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to exterior and street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns, suggesting improved overall building maintenance in recent years.

Risk rating

How 267 San Jose 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
32ndpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1618 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
