Rent & eviction protection

Is 10-12 Dodge 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

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

The Levy Family Trust's two-unit residential building at 10-12 Dodge Street in the Tenderloin, constructed in 1909, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning are the building's fire safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded between 2017 and 2025 involving alarm systems, fire escapes, extinguishers, and blocked exits. Notable recent fire safety incidents include violations in August 2023 for alarms, fire escape, and extinguishers, along with a similar violation in September 2022. The building has also experienced three documented fire incidents, most recently a building fire and a trash fire, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries.

The property has faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding sanitation and external maintenance, with multiple 311 calls throughout 2022-2023 reporting issues such as sewage backups, human waste cleanups, and graffiti removal needs. Recent plumbing issues include a December 2023 sewage backup incident. Though many of these external disruptions were promptly addressed by city services or the Tenderloin CBD clean team, they indicate ongoing challenges in building maintenance and neighborhood conditions. While the property has a documented history of addressing violations through corrective actions, including abating a set of violations in August 2023, the frequency and variety of issues suggest a persistent pattern of maintenance and safety challenges requiring ongoing attention.

Risk rating

How 10-12 Dodge 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
99thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 2 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
