Rent & eviction protection

Is 4 Dunnes 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 before 1979
Built 1933
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM2
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1933
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 3-unit multi-family residential building at 4 Dunnes Alley in Telegraph Hill, owned by Gogna Fmly Gst Tr, is a 2-story apartment structure built in 1933. The building has undergone some recent maintenance work, including the replacement of the underground gas line supply from the meter to the building in June 2022. However, the property has experienced multiple fire safety concerns in 2023, with violations issued in November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements and in July 2023 concerning sprinkler systems, though one violation from July was determined to have no merit. This recent pattern of fire safety violations is noteworthy, as it may impact resident safety and requires attention to compliance with building codes.

The building's recent history shows particular attention to fire safety systems, with previous violations in 2018 and 2017 related to sprinkler systems and alarm systems respectively, both of which were corrected. The property has generated several 311 calls between 2018 and 2023, primarily related to parking enforcement issues, which appear to be a recurring concern in the area, with multiple reports of illegal parking during this period. Other municipal service requests include three instances of street cleaning needs - two for human or animal waste in 2023 and 2019, one for loose garbage in 2018, and a street graffiti case from 2021. While these external maintenance issues are less critical than the building's fire safety concerns, they do provide context about the surrounding area and its maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 4 Dunnes 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
47thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 363 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
