Rent & eviction protection

Is 1449-1453 Jefferson 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 1933

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.

Built 1933
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 three-unit multi-family residential building located at 1449-1453 Jefferson Street in the Marina neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1933, currently owned by Milfam-sf A Series Of Cocka. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past several years, with the most recent work in 2023 including window and door replacements ($35,000) across all three units, focusing on units not visible from the street. In 2019-2020, substantial interior renovations were completed, including bathroom and kitchen remodels on the second and third floors, replacement of fire inserts, and installation of safety guardrails ($62,000). The property has received appropriate upgrades to its mechanical systems, including the installation of a backflow device for the boiler (2021), plumbing improvements throughout all units (2020) including water heater replacement and gas line installations, and electrical system upgrades with new fixtures and receptacles (2020).

The building has maintained compliance with safety regulations, with only one historical violation recorded in 2007 regarding gas utility shutoff tool provision, which was promptly resolved within two months. Infrastructure maintenance has been demonstrated through various permits, including replacement of the outside house trap (2018) and multiple street space permits. The property has experienced minimal disturbances, with only two abandoned vehicle complaints registered through the 311 system, both of which were resolved when vehicles were found to be gone upon inspection. The extensive renovation history and systematic upgrades to windows, doors, plumbing, and electrical systems indicate ongoing maintenance and improvement of the building's infrastructure and resident amenities.

Risk rating

How 1449-1453 Jefferson 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
72ndpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 277 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
