Rent & eviction protection

Is 1060 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 1909
2 or more units
14 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM4
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 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

1060 Pine Street is a 12-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by 1060 Pine 15 Llc. The property, which has completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit as a Tier 3 building, has undergone significant improvements and faced several challenges over the past decade. Most notably, 2023 saw serious concerns regarding the water heater system, with reports of potential fire hazards, though these were addressed with the installation of new water heaters. The building has undergone substantial upgrades to its safety systems, including a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2021 (costing $25,000) and the installation of a sprinkler system on the ground floor in 2021 (cost $30,000), demonstrating a commitment to improving resident safety. Recent improvements include the addition of two ADUs in 2020-2021, washer/dryer installations in multiple units, and various unit renovations.

The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly during construction periods. Numerous complaints have been filed regarding construction practices, including issues with worker safety compliance (mask wearing), fire escape access, and waste management. Between 2020 and 2024, there have been multiple complaints about heating systems, plumbing issues, and building maintenance. Historical violations from 2016 indicated problems with water damage, window repairs, and wall surfaces, though these were subsequently abated.

Risk rating

How 1060 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
23th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 345 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 9.2%
Moderate concern 73.0%
Severe concern 17.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
