Rent & eviction protection

Is 1374-1378 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 1915
2 or more units

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 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 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1374-1378 Broadway in Russian Hill, owned by Suzen Shoan Revoc Trust and constructed in 1915, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. The most substantial recent work occurred in 2011-2012, including a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel in unit 1378 ($38,000), installation of two new furnaces, gas line work, and extensive electrical upgrades including new recess lighting, appliance installations, and a 400-amp upgrade in the garage hallway. Prior to these improvements, the building experienced notable issues between 2008-2009, particularly with electrical problems including constant fuse blowing, inadequate heating, and multiple heating system malfunctions, which were resolved through the subsequent renovations and system upgrades.

The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure, with a reroofing project completed in 2013 ($9,500) and multiple street space permits issued between 2012-2013. In 2010, the property faced several housing code violations that were subsequently abated by August 2010, including issues with fire safety (egress obstruction and combustible storage), interior surfaces (wall paint and cabinet repairs), and heating system requirements. The most recent building records show no active violations, though there is a historical record of parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued between 2023-2024 for vehicles blocking driveways and other illegal parking. A Verizon wireless facility installation proposal was logged in 2023 but was closed as withdrawn. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2014, with no significant issues reported in recent years, though there were multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding parking enforcement and street cleaning matters near the property.

Risk rating

How 1374-1378 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
57thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 487 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
