Rent & eviction protection

Is 925 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1922
2 or more units
16 units

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 1922
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 16-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 925 Leavenworth Street, constructed in 1922, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2023, the building received a fire alarm system upgrade including new components to meet current fire safety standards, following a similar fire safety improvement in 2024 involving emergency lighting. The building has a history of addressing roofing concerns, with completed re-roofing projects in 2015 and 2016 costing between $8,500 and $10,000. Seismic safety was enhanced in 2002 with a $100,000 retrofit.

Tenant comfort and safety have been ongoing concerns, with multiple incidents of inadequate heating documented between 2002 and 2009, though most recent heating-related issues appear to have been resolved. The building experienced several fire safety violations, including blocked exits and emergency lighting issues, with the most recent violation in August 2024 regarding exit maintenance. Unit improvements have occurred, such as the complete renovation of Unit 16 in 2007, which included electrical rewiring and plumbing updates. Historical maintenance issues have included problems with paint, lighting, and window glazing, particularly in common areas, as well as concerns about lead paint hazards. The property has generally addressed violations in a timely manner, with most recent fire safety issues being promptly corrected.

Risk rating

How 925 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

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

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 197 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.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 9.7%
Moderate concern 59.5%
Severe concern 30.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
