Rent & eviction protection

Is 1950-1956 Stockton St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built 1908

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1908
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1950-1956 Stockton Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Tony L Wong 2006 Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1908 and contains 4 residential units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in 2021. During this period, multiple heating system violations were reported, with tenants experiencing no heat in January 2021 in multiple complaints, which were only resolved by April 2023 through the installation of new wall heaters in units 1954 and 1956 at a cost of $1,200 and the replacement of heaters in both units at a cost of $6,000.

The building has a history of various maintenance and safety compliance requirements, including handrail replacement (also addressed in 2021), and earlier issues with roof structures and stairs. In 2000-2002, there were concerns about roof-related work including a suspended permit for a roof enclosure and stairs, while violations from 2002 included requirements for fire safety equipment, security doors, and gas meter instructions. A 2005 routine inspection was conducted without any notable issues. While the most recent permits show attention to heating system improvements and handrail compliance, the building has experienced recurring patterns of heating system problems, with multiple violations and complaints about inadequate heat during winter months. The property underwent several roof-related works in the early 2000s, including reroofing and stair repairs, though some permits were expired or suspended during this period.

Risk rating

How 1950-1956 Stockton St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
9thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 622 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
