Rent & eviction protection

Is 1142-1166 Washington 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 1908
2 or more units

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 1908
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 23-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1142-1166 Washington Street in Nob Hill, owned by Tong & Tung Prpts LLC, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant renovations. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 at a cost of $250,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco Building Code requirements. The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, with recent concerns emerging between 2024-2024 regarding water intrusion, plumbing leaks, and multiple fire safety violations including fire extinguisher maintenance and fire escape ladder conditions. A concerning report from April 2024 indicated maintenance response delays from property management company Hogan and Vest, with residents expressing code compliance concerns. The building's infrastructure was updated in 2013 with gas line replacements for stoves and water heaters. Historical issues include a 2007 water damage incident between floors and a 2020 construction safety complaint regarding debris and glass falling from the building's exterior during renovation work. The property has maintained compliance with regular routine inspections, and recent complaints primarily relate to exterior maintenance and sanitation matters. The building's soft-story retrofit work was completed successfully, though recent violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 1142-1166 Washington 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
28thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 810 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
