Rent & eviction protection

Is 1-3 Leroy Pl 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 1900
2 or more units

Property type

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1900
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

1-3 Leroy Place is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Nob Hill neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by Wettersten Ansel. The property has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the years, including the installation of a new metal fire escape in 2014 to replace a rotted wooden structure (cost: $32,000), voluntary foundation repairs in 2008 (cost: $19,700), and most recently, a new 200-amp electrical service installation in October 2023. The building has experienced various maintenance issues, with the most pressing current concerns being repeated complaints about lack of hot water and mold issues, with formal complaints filed in October 2024 indicating the landlord's non-compliance with court-ordered repairs. Other notable incidents include a sewage backup resolved in 2018, building system noise issues in 2022, and various maintenance and health-related inspections throughout the property's history. The building's permit and maintenance record shows regular upkeep of major systems, including reroofing work completed in 2018 (cost: $16,800) and earlier work in 1990. While the property has seen significant investment in safety features and infrastructure improvements, the recent hot water and mold issues represent the most serious current resident concerns.

Risk rating

How 1-3 Leroy Pl'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
81stpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 214 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
