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.

    • San Francisco Housing Code §1001(m), (n)
  2. Tenants here have reported plumbing problems.
    Worth checkingⓘ
    Run the taps and look under the kitchen and bathroom sinks for leaks, and check whether the water runs rusty or discolored, or smells bad, when you first turn it on.

    Worth checkingⓘ
    Look along the common stairs and hallways for accumulated dirt, marks and debris, and check the bin area for containers with tight fitting lids that are not overflowing.
    details ▸

    California law requires buildings, grounds and appurtenances to be kept clean and sanitary and free from debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents and vermin, and requires adequate trash receptacles in good repair. San Francisco requires containers that keep out rodents and insects, that are watertight with tight fitting lids, and that are emptied often enough that they do not overflow.
