Rent & eviction protection

Is 946 Leavenworth 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.

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.

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 21-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 946 Leavenworth Street, owned by Hawthorne/Stone Pine Street Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges since its construction in 1913. Most notably, there have been recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat between 2016 and 2022, including a documented temperature drop below 60 degrees in Unit 44 in May 2022. The building underwent a seismic retrofit in 2010 costing $140,000 and has seen various system upgrades, including a water main replacement (2016), backflow prevention device installation (2014), and the removal of electric heaters from seven units in 2010.

The property experienced a series of violations in 2013 related to boiler permits, which were subsequently resolved by September 2013. More recently, there was a sprinkler/standpipe systems issue reported and corrected in August 2023. The building's maintenance history shows regular infrastructure updates, including plumbing work (such as floor sink replacements and furnace installation in 2011), electrical system improvements, and various unit renovations between 2006 and 2016. Recent external reports from 2024 indicate ongoing challenges in the surrounding area, including multiple cases of abandoned debris and cleaning issues documented through 311 calls, though these are external to the building's structural and maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 946 Leavenworth 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
47thpercentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 237 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
