Rent & eviction protection

Is 1007 Sutter 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

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 six-story, 38-unit building at 1007 Sutter Street in Downtown San Francisco, owned by the Robertson Family Revocable Trust, has been experiencing ongoing maintenance and safety issues that warrant attention. Most notably, there is an active violation related to the building's facade inspection program (as of November 2025) for not meeting the mandatory inspection report submission deadline of December 31, 2023, as required by San Francisco Existing Building Code Chapter 5F. The building has also faced significant safety concerns recently, including a serious incident in March 2026 when a pane of glass fell from the fifth story, landing dangerously close to a pedestrian on the sidewalk. Prior to this, in June 2024, there were complaints about window insulation issues causing cold drafts and leaks during rainy seasons. The property, built in 1923, has generated 530 311 service requests over the past seven years, with various complaints ranging from mail box issues to reports of garbage, debris, and even human waste incidents. While some of these complaints were resolved, the persistence of facade inspection violations and recent safety incidents suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident safety and building compliance. The building's historical record shows 530 311 service requests, 4 Department of Building Inspection (DBI) complaints, 1 Notice of Violation, 1 Final Warning, and 1 fire incident over the past seven years, though some older complaints (such as construction noise from 2021) are no longer active.

Risk rating

How 1007 Sutter 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
21th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 354 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 7.4%
Moderate concern 66.1%
Severe concern 26.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
