Rent & eviction protection

Is 1447 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.

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

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1447 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, built in 1912, is a two-story structure that includes both residential and commercial space, classified as "Flat & Store 4 units or less." The property's documented history shows relatively few structural modifications, with the most significant being a garage door upgrade completed in 2004, involving the installation of new hardware and an opener at a cost of $1,000.

The building's external environment has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly during the 2020-2021 period, with multiple incidents requiring Department of Public Works (DPW) intervention for street and sidewalk cleaning. This included eight separate reports of human or animal waste and loose garbage between December 2020 and April 2021. Two instances of non-offensive graffiti on the residential building were reported in 2020 and 2021, with the 2020 case being deferred due to pandemic-related inspection suspensions. One parking enforcement issue was resolved in May 2020 involving a blocked driveway situation. While these environmental and maintenance issues were all officially documented as "Closed Case Resolved," their clustering in the 2020-2021 period suggests a period of particular external maintenance challenges for the property and its surroundings.

Risk rating

How 1447 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
77thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 259 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
