Rent & eviction protection

Is 1343 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 before 1979
Built 1907

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.

Built 1907
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 2-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building at 1343 Sacramento Street in Nob Hill, owned by Paul Andrew Spiegel Tr, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant modifications and inspections over the years. The building has received various improvements, including a garage door renovation in 1993, termite repairs in 1991, and substantial interior modifications in 1983 involving kitchen and bathroom relocations. Multiple inspection violations were recorded in 2000 and 2016, including fire safety issues (egress obstructions, fire extinguisher maintenance), security concerns (locked roof access), and smoke detection deficiencies (carbon monoxide alarms). More recent history shows a fence construction complaint in 2018, which was addressed by Building Inspection Division.

The building's maintenance record includes several 311 calls in 2024 regarding graffiti, abandoned vehicles, and street cleaning, all of which were resolved. A blocked exit complaint was filed and addressed in July 2018, and there was one CO detector activation incident recorded with no civilian injuries. The property has undergone regular routine inspections, with the most recent occurring in 2016. Previous violations from 2009 related to various safety requirements were all cleared by December 2009. While the building has experienced multiple violations and complaints regarding safety systems and maintenance over the years, the record shows that most issues were addressed and resolved in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 1343 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.

Neighborhood percentile
53rdpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 529 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Neighborhood location

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