Rent & eviction protection

Is 1057-1059 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 before 1979
Built 1907
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1907
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 1057-1059 Pacific Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood. Built in 1907, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2015. This comprehensive upgrade, costing $37,000, included kitchen and bathroom remodeling, complete rewiring with electrical panel upgrades, window replacements, and plumbing improvements including new shower pans and furnaces. Previous maintenance work included window replacements in 2012, and reroofing completed in 2008.

The building is currently undergoing review for an ambitious vertical addition project that proposes to add a fourth floor with a roof deck and an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) at the ground floor behind the garage, which would significantly increase the property's living space and modern amenities. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of systems and components, though there have been some neighborhood-related issues recorded through 311 calls between 2011 and 2024, including graffiti, abandoned vehicles, and garbage concerns, which are typical for the urban location. Most recent issues have been street cleaning matters, with the latest incident in July 2024 involving abandoned garbage. While these external maintenance issues have been resolved through proper channels, they primarily relate to the street and sidewalk areas rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1057-1059 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
95thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 56 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
