Rent & eviction protection

Is 110 Alta 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.

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 1900
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, three-unit multi-family residential building at 110 Alta Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by 110 Alta LLC, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1900. The most substantial modification occurred in 2004 with a permitted $10,000 infill addition at the second floor rear, while a major renovation project in 2002 included comprehensive updates to two kitchens and bathrooms on the upper floors, roof replacement, and installation of a new fire system in the basement garage, totaling approximately $57,800. The property has experienced two notable incidents requiring housing inspection services: a routine inspection in 2002 revealed multiple violations including handrail and drainage pipe issues, fire safety concerns, and sanitation problems, all of which were abated by May 2003. In 2007, a complaint was filed regarding an allegedly unpermitted two-car garage conversion and ground floor unit removal, though this was closed by November 2007. More recently, there have been several parking-related issues documented between 2020-2022, primarily involving vehicles blocking the driveway.

The building's permit history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading of systems, including a total rewiring in 2002 with 200-amp service installation, 2008 electrical improvements, and plumbing updates such as washer installation in 2007. Various rear yard variances have been successfully obtained for improvements including stairs installation and infill construction. Recent records indicate routine maintenance continues, with the most recent building inspection-related activity being a 2022 sewer issue report. The property's documented history demonstrates regular investment in maintenance and upgrades, though prospective tenants should be aware of the building's age and the historical issues addressed in 2002.

Risk rating

How 110 Alta 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

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

Grade C — Moderate risk

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

Grade D–F — High risk

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

Neighborhood percentile
47th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 363 are predicted to be safer.
