Rent & eviction protection

Is 1180 Broadway 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 1968
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH3
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 1968
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 multi-family residential building at 1180 Broadway in Russian Hill, owned by Lee Stanley and Helen Revoc T, was constructed in 1968 and contains two units above a garage. The property has experienced several significant issues over the years, with the most serious and recent concerns emerging in late 2022. An active building violation filed in December 2022 alleges multiple life safety hazards, including unapproved plumbing and electrical work, unauthorized kitchen modifications, improper occupancy classifications, and questions about fire-resistant materials and occupancy separation between the garage and habitable spaces. These violations have been categorized as a nuisance related to improper occupancy. The building has also undergone some maintenance work, including the replacement of rotten wood siding in 2019 at a cost of $6,000.

Earlier complaints about the building include reports of heavy construction work without proper permits in 2015, which was promptly investigated, and a sewer overflow incident in 2000 that was resolved within two months. The property has generated multiple 311 calls between 2016 and 2022, primarily related to abandoned vehicles on the street outside the building, though these external issues have generally been resolved quickly. While the building's history shows regular maintenance activities and compliance efforts typical for its age and usage, the recent violation notice filed in 2022 represents the most significant cluster of potential safety and code compliance issues on record.

Risk rating

How 1180 Broadway'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.
