Rent & eviction protection

Is 1167-1169 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 1928

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.

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

Located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, 1167-1169 Pacific Avenue is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1928. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2019 when electrical improvements were made to add outlets, lights, and switches in an office room located on the roof. In 2018, the building received a roof room remodel and siding replacement, following earlier major renovations including a 2017 deck repair project at the rear of the building, and substantial updates in 2013 that encompassed kitchen and bathroom remodels, including the installation of high-efficiency lighting and a gas fireplace. The building's systems have seen significant upgrades, with extensive work on plumbing and electrical systems in 2010-2013, including duct replacement, bathroom renovations, and compliance with a physical inspection report.

The property has experienced several notable regulatory and compliance issues, including a building inspection complaint in 2021 regarding potentially unpermitted modifications including roof plants and irrigation systems, and a 2014 complaint about unauthorized construction work. Historical records indicate prior concerns about construction work being performed without proper permits in 2005. The building has undergone a condominium conversion process, with planning records showing applications for conversion of the two units. Recent activity near the property has primarily involved municipal service calls regarding parking enforcement and street cleaning, with multiple instances of reported driveway blocking and abandoned vehicles between 2024-2023, though these do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 1167-1169 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
66thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 382 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
