Rent & eviction protection

Is 1950-1954 Leavenworth 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 1913
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1913
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-unit residential building at 1950-1954 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill, owned by Villars Three LLC, has undergone significant improvements in recent years. Constructed in 1913 as a three-story flats and duplex building, it received substantial renovations in 2019, including complete kitchen and bathroom remodels for units 1950 and 1952, addition of laundry facilities, and electrical upgrades. During this renovation phase, pantries were converted to bathrooms in the lower two units, with work encompassing plumbing, electrical, and construction elements totaling approximately $110,000. In late 2022, the building's electrical system received a substantial upgrade with a 400-amp, 5-meter service installation, followed by the recent installation of baseboard heaters in unit 1952 and additional heaters in unit 1950 in early 2024. The building also underwent window replacements in 2018, with 15 new aluminum-clad wood windows installed.

The only historical compliance issues occurred in 2006, when the building was cited for fire safety violations including the need for proper fire extinguishers and the removal of combustible materials from the garage floor. All these violations were promptly addressed and abated by June 2006. The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls between 2019 and 2024, though these are not building-related issues and have been consistently addressed through citations and enforcement actions. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with no active violations or complaints as of the latest records.

Risk rating

How 1950-1954 Leavenworth 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
49thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 578 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
