Rent & eviction protection

Is 1050 Pine 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 1923
2 or more units
9 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1923
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 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1050 Pine Street, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by 2006 Lombard Street LLC, has undergone significant renovations and safety improvements over recent years. The property completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit as a Tier 3 building, with work officially classified as complete and receiving its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). Major infrastructure upgrades include a comprehensive fire safety systems modernization in 2023, featuring wireless communications and low-frequency horns in sleep areas, as well as the installation of 30 fire sprinklers in 2021 and the addition of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) to replace former parking spaces. Recent improvements include unit-specific renovations across multiple apartments between 2020-2022, focusing on layout changes, bathroom additions, and general upgrades. The building's systems have been modernized with new furnace installations across multiple units in 2023, following the decommissioning of an old steam boiler, and plumbing improvements throughout.

Recent tenant communications indicate some concerns, including a 2024 common area complaint currently under review, and a 2023 complaint regarding exterior paint work potentially involving lead, though this was subsequently marked as not active. Historical issues included a brief period of non-compliance with boiler permit requirements in 2021-2022, which was resolved, and several 2020 complaints about construction work during COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to meet safety codes, including fire system upgrades in response to violations and routine inspections. The property completed a tenant buyout in January 2024 involving two tenants at $35,000 each, suggesting a potential unit reconfiguration or refurbishment strategy. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and debris issues around the property, which are consistently marked as resolved.

Risk rating

How 1050 Pine 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
44thpercentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 251 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
