Rent & eviction protection

Is 10-22 Bob Kaufman Aly 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 1907

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 1907
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 two-story multi-family residential building at 10-22 Bob Kaufman Alley in Telegraph Hill, owned by Yuet Ching Mak Survivor's Trust, is a 1907 structure containing 5 units. The building's documented history shows relatively few significant issues over the past quarter-century. The most notable incident occurred in March 2003 when a complaint was filed regarding stair repairs, prompting a Notice of Violation that was abated within a few weeks. The building has undergone four routine housing inspections between 1997 and 2006, with no recorded violations or persistent issues from these inspections.

More recent activity at the address has been limited primarily to external matters not directly related to the building's condition. This includes two parking enforcement incidents in 2024 and 2020 involving illegal parking issues that were resolved with citations, and a streetlight repair in 2018 for a flickering light on a wooden pole. A general cleaning issue involving loose garbage was addressed by the Department of Public Works in 2016. While these recent incidents reflect general neighborhood concerns, they do not indicate any specific issues with the building itself. The absence of any building violations or serious complaints in recent years suggests stable conditions, though it's important to note that this data only reflects documented incidents and may not capture all aspects of the building's current condition.

Risk rating

How 10-22 Bob Kaufman Aly'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
42ndpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 397 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
