Rent & eviction protection

Is 1441-1443 Grant Ave 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 1915

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.

Built 1915
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 1441-1443 Grant Avenue is a two-story, multi-family residential building with 3 units, constructed in 1915 in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood, and currently owned by the Glee Sheehan Revocable Trust of 2005. The building's recent history shows several significant renovation efforts, particularly in 2005-2006, including a substantial kitchen remodel involving cabinet and countertop replacement, electrical upgrades in Unit #2, and various street space permits. The property underwent electrical improvements in both 2005 and 2006, with documented work including the installation of new switches, receptacles, and lighting throughout the units. Earlier maintenance records from 2002-2003 indicate attention to basic upkeep, including repairs to clay tiles in the entrance area and painting work in food preparation spaces.

The building's history includes a few notable incidents related to commercial activities, including a complaint about a vacant storefront in 2020 and an unauthorized conversion attempt from retail to café use in 2003, though both issues were subsequently addressed. A planning application was approved to move an existing coffee shop from 1402 Grant Avenue to this location, indicating prior commercial use of part of the property. Recent municipal service calls (2022-2024) relating to street cleaning and encampments, while not directly affecting the building itself, reflect typical urban neighborhood challenges in the vicinity. The property's documented history shows regular maintenance and upgrading efforts by ownership, with no recorded safety incidents or fire events directly involving the building or its occupants.

Risk rating

How 1441-1443 Grant Ave'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
16thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 575 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
