Rent & eviction protection

Is 1617 North Point 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 1954
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.

Built 1954
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 two-unit residential building at 1617 North Point Street in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood, owned by Pacific Gas and Electric Company, has undergone several significant modifications since its construction in 1954. The most substantial recent work occurred in 2019, involving major infrastructure updates including soil and slab replacement work costing $100,000 in the front yard and backyard areas. In early 2020, the property underwent HVAC and utility upgrades, including installation of new furnaces and water heaters, electrical panel relocation, and mechanical room reconfiguration, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed by February 2020. The building had previously faced issues with an illegal dwelling unit, which was resolved between 2012 and 2018 through several permits and enforcement actions, including the removal of a garage-level unit, decommissioning of kitchen facilities, and conversion of spaces to legal storage use, with final inspections completed in late 2016.

More recent history shows some maintenance issues, including a sewage back-up discharge from a side sewer vent reported in December 2024. The property has experienced periodic encampment-related issues in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024, though these are external to the building itself. The building's infrastructure updates over the past four years indicate ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts. A single fire incident was recorded with a smoke detector activation and no fire or injuries. The property's legal compliance status shows resolution of short-term rental violations, with cessation of unauthorized Airbnb activity and payment of penalties.

Risk rating

How 1617 North Point 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
