Rent & eviction protection

Is 1018-1022 Jackson St 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 1910

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.

Built 1910
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 1018-1022 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by Lew Ruby J, was constructed in 1910 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Major improvements were completed in 2003-2004, including extensive electrical upgrades with new wiring and service for all four floors (valued at $120,000), installation of kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and wall repairs. The building experienced multiple maintenance issues in 2004, with violations related to security and safety concerns, including inadequate lighting in the side exit passageway and problems with exterior doors, though these were resolved by July 2004. Between 2010 and 2017, the building underwent routine inspections, with the most recent active routine inspection recorded in 2003.

More recent history shows some exterior maintenance needs, with multiple 311 calls between 2013-2024 primarily related to street cleaning and garbage concerns. The most recent building permit on record was issued in 2016 for street space modification. Three 311 calls regarding mechanical equipment noise were logged in 2022, though these were eventually resolved and marked as out of date. The building also appears to have undergone Section 106 review processes, with records showing both approved and closed statuses for this planning requirement. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, most significant violations have been addressed promptly, and recent building permits suggest ongoing attention to property maintenance and compliance requirements.

Risk rating

How 1018-1022 Jackson St'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
73rdpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 304 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
