Rent & eviction protection

Is 1000-1014 Larkin 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 five-story multi-family residential building at 1000-1014 Larkin Street, owned by Sic-mcm 1008 Larkin Street, was constructed in 1907 and contains 57 units. The property has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, with open violations as of October 2023 for sleeping area requirements and missing standpipe caps, and multiple similar violations documented between 2022-2024. Recent complaints from 2024-2025 indicate significant maintenance and sanitation concerns, including reports of standing sewage in common areas and unresponsive management. A major fire alarm system upgrade is currently in-process (as of February 2024) to comply with updated safety codes, while recent work has focused on unit improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels in various units (2016-2019). The building has a history of addressing interior maintenance issues, with multiple units receiving electrical system upgrades, though some common area concerns remain, as evidenced by recent complaints about the 4th floor bathroom.

Historically, the building faced several violations in the early 2000s related to pest control, fire escape maintenance, and various interior surface issues, all of which were subsequently abated. The property has undergone substantial improvements over the years, including the installation of new fire safety systems, kitchen renovations in multiple units, and bathroom remodels on several floors. However, recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in relation to plumbing and fire safety systems. The building's management has responded to most violations and completed numerous improvement projects, though some recent complaints indicate possible communication issues with residents. The property also has active issues with maintaining proper elevator functionality and responding to sanitation concerns, as evidenced by multiple recent complaints from residents.

Risk rating

How 1000-1014 Larkin 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
0thpercentile

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