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.

    • California Tenant Guide
    • San Francisco Housing Code §1001(m), (n)
  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.

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.

  • San Francisco Housing Code §701
  • 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.
