Rent & eviction protection

Is 1932-1938 Taylor 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 1925

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.

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 four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1932-1938 Taylor Street in Russian Hill, owned by Lancelotti Exempt Family Tr, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its lifetime. Most recently, in March 2023, approximately $95,000 was spent on water-related improvements including installation of a French drain system with sump pump, repairs to a rotted deck section, and drainage modifications at the garage door. Previous major improvements include the complete replacement of 23 street-facing wood windows with energy-efficient double-pane units in 2017, and a comprehensive electrical upgrade in 2006 featuring rewiring and installation of new circuits, switches, and outlets.

The building has experienced several infrastructure and maintenance issues over the past two decades, with the most recent concerns in 2024 involving construction materials blocking street access and a gravel pile that required attention from city services. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in November 2005 regarding fire safety and emergency exit issues, including requirements for smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and smoke enclosure improvements, though these were all abated by January 2006. The property has had periodic issues with water management, as evidenced by a 2004 complaint about garage water leakage through a retaining wall, and more recent drainage concerns addressed in the 2023 repairs. Other notable improvements include a rooftop replacement in 1995 and various street space permits issued over the years for construction and maintenance activities. The building has maintained an active permit history, including a recent (2024) complaint about expired construction permits and associated materials, though this issue appears to have been addressed shortly thereafter.

Risk rating

How 1932-1938 Taylor 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
72ndpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 317 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.
