Rent & eviction protection

Is 1300-1304 Kearny 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 before 1979
Built 1906

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 1906
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 property at 1300-1304 Kearny St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, owned by Ziggy LLC and constructed in 1906. The building has undergone several significant improvements since 2017, including comprehensive kitchen renovations, electrical upgrades (installation of receptacles and lighting), furnace replacement, and storefront window and door updates, with investment totaling approximately $14,000 in 2017 alone. However, the building has experienced recurring issues that merit attention. Between 2019 and 2022, there were multiple violations related to an abandoned commercial storefront, resulting in notices of violation and potential penalties. A particularly concerning complaint in April 2020 reported water intrusion, lack of heat, safety concerns regarding stairs, and pest issues in one of the occupied units, though these were marked as abated by May 2020. Earlier history includes complaints about unauthorized basement rentals in 2002, along with some construction-related issues in 2017 regarding work beyond permitted scope and unpermitted modifications.

Recent maintenance patterns show regular attention to building systems, with the most significant recent issues being related to exterior conditions rather than the building's core systems. Between 2020 and 2024, there have been various 311 calls regarding street cleaning, parking issues, and graffiti, though these external matters don't directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. The property has experienced only one reported fire incident since records began, which was a false alarm with no injuries recorded. The building underwent substantial improvements in 2017 and has maintained active engagement with city permits and inspections, though the pattern of vacant storefront violations suggests ongoing challenges with the commercial portion of the property.

Risk rating

How 1300-1304 Kearny 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
7thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 636 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Director's hearing rate, owner's portfolio
