    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.

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.

    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.

    California law requires plumbing facilities in good working order, including hot and cold running water connected to a sewage disposal system. Each rental unit must also have a working toilet, wash basin and bathtub or shower, in a room that is ventilated and allows privacy.
