Rent & eviction protection

Is 1356-1358 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 1914

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 1914
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 two-unit residential building at 1356-1358 Broadway in Russian Hill is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1914, currently owned by the Mittelstaedt Hickle Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations, most notably in 2011 when a comprehensive kitchen remodel was completed at a cost of $50,000, along with window replacements on the street elevation ($12,500), electrical upgrades including two 100-amp panels, and plumbing improvements including the installation of new kitchen fixtures and furnace replacements. More recently, in 2014, a 40-gallon water heater was installed. The building experienced one notable incident in November 2021 when unauthorized construction work was reported with unmarked trucks and scaffolding in the interior alleyway, though this was quickly addressed within three days.

The property has had multiple maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, including two instances of graffiti in 2020 and 2023 (both deemed "Not Offensive"), various parking enforcement calls in 2021-2022 for illegal parking, driveway blocking, and sidewalk parking, some of which resulted in citations. While the building itself has not experienced any fire incidents requiring response (only one recorded false alarm), the property has required several street space and sidewalk permits over the years, with the most recent issued in 2015. The building's systems have been regularly maintained and upgraded, as evidenced by the various permits for heating, plumbing, and electrical work, suggesting ongoing attention to infrastructure upkeep.

Risk rating

How 1356-1358 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.

Neighborhood percentile
24thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 861 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
