What to watch forⓘ

  1. Fire safety problems have been reported here.
    Worth checkingⓘ
    Walk the exit route from the unit to the street and check the stairs and hallways are clear of stored items, and that fire doors close properly.
    details ▸

    California law requires safe fire or emergency exits leading to a street or hallway, and requires stairs, hallways and exits to be kept litter free. Storage areas, garages and basements must be kept free of combustible materials. San Francisco's Housing Code separately treats inadequate exits and inadequate fire protection equipment as conditions that make a building substandard, which is the finding behind a notice of violation.

  2. 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.

    Worth checkingⓘ
    Look along baseboards and inside low cabinets for droppings, greasy rub marks or tracks, and check whether the bins outside overflow and whether gaps around exterior doors are sealed.
    details ▸

    California law requires buildings and grounds to be kept clean and sanitary and free from debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents and vermin. San Francisco requires property owners to keep their property free of vermin, and requires an owner or manager to respond to a tenant's bed bug complaint by hiring a licensed pest control operator.
