Rent & eviction protection

Is 1266-1270 Sacramento 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 1909

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 1909
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 1266-1270 Sacramento Street in Nob Hill is a 3-unit structure built in 1909 and currently owned by Albert J Bartridge Jr. The building has undergone various maintenance and improvement work over the years, with significant attention to utilities and safety systems. Most recently, in 2015, a house trap installation with sidewalk box and pipe replacement to the garage was completed, along with a street space/sidewalk work. The property experienced several routine housing inspections, with notable violations in August 2000 including multiple fire safety issues (fire extinguisher maintenance) and security concerns (self-closing doors and deadlatch locks), all of which were abated by January 2010. A plumbing issue regarding a missing sewer vent cover was reported and resolved in September 2022. The building has had several tree-related maintenance issues documented between 2017 and 2022, primarily concerning tree roots lifting the sidewalk, which required attention from urban forestry services.

The property has undergone various repairs and improvements, including a kitchen remodel in 2001 and stairway repairs in 2000. Historical records show earlier maintenance work such as roofing (1996) and roof deck retrofitting (1998). In recent years, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding tree maintenance and sidewalk issues, with the most recent being a resolved case in 2022. Several Conditional Use Authorizations have been processed, including one for a vertical addition over 40 feet in 2015. The building's fire safety systems have been maintained, with one recorded alarm system activation having no fire-related incidents. While the property has had its share of maintenance issues over the years, records indicate that violations have typically been addressed and resolved in a timely manner, with no active violations currently on record.

Risk rating

How 1266-1270 Sacramento 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.
