Rent & eviction protection

Is 1310-1312 Pacific Ave 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 1904

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 1904
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 property at 1310-1312 Pacific Avenue is a two-story mixed-use building located in Nob Hill, constructed in 1904 and containing two residential units plus ground-floor commercial space. The building, owned by the Ross Mckenna Trust, has undergone significant improvements over recent years, with major renovations occurring between 2018-2020 including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout residential units and parking garage, complete plumbing renovations, electrical remodeling of apartments, and various unit improvements including bathroom and kitchen refurbishments. Notable recent work includes a proposed new roofdeck installation with planters (2020) and multiple fire safety upgrades (2019), though some permits related to fire system installation have expired.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety improvements dating back to 2004, when multiple violations were recorded including various maintenance issues such as problems with windows, floors, plumbing fixtures, and lead paint concerns, all of which were subsequently abated by 2005. More recent complaints in 2020 and 2021 from residents cited air pollution during construction and noise concerns from construction activities, though these issues appear to have been resolved. The property has active permits as of 2023 for street cleaning and has had minimal issues in recent years, with only minor matters such as loose garbage citations and a flooding incident in early 2023. Planning records indicate several proposed improvements including the potential for additional stories and modifications to the rear egress staircase, with various plans being withdrawn, approved, or marked as informational. The commercial space has undergone improvements to accommodate "Business or Professional Services" use, with specific restrictions on operations and storage.

Risk rating

How 1310-1312 Pacific Ave'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
