What to watch forⓘ

  1. Tenants here have reported no heat or no hot water.
    details ▸

    California law requires heating facilities in good working order, and plumbing facilities in good working order including hot and cold running water. A rental unit that substantially lacks either may be legally uninhabitable, which is the standard the implied warranty of habitability sets for every residential tenancy in the state.

    Ask how heat and hot water are supplied and who pays for them. If either fails once you live here, put the request to the landlord in writing and keep a copy.

  2. Unsafe work on paint has been reported here.
    Worth checkingⓘ
    Look for chipping or flaking paint, especially in older buildings and on window frames, door frames and stair rails, and for paint dust or debris left behind after recent work.
    details ▸

    San Francisco's Health Code presumes that any paint on a building built before 1979 is lead based unless shown otherwise, and treats lead hazards as a public health nuisance. Disturbing that paint without controlling the dust is what spreads the hazard. California law separately treats a lead hazard that endangers the occupants as a condition that can make a rental unit uninhabitable.

Ask when the building was built and whether any paint work has been done recently. If it was built before 1978, read the federal booklet Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home.

  • Tenants here have reported mold.
    Worth checkingⓘ
    Look for dark spots on walls, floors and ceilings, and for dry or wet spots, flaking or bubbling, or a damp or moldy smell, especially in bathrooms and closets.
    details ▸

    San Francisco's Health Code treats visible or otherwise demonstrable mold or mildew in a residential building as a public health nuisance in its own right. Under state law, mold that the landlord has notice of and that affects livability or health can also breach the implied warranty of habitability.
