Rent & eviction protection

Is 1143-1151 Bay 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 1950
2 or more units
5 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM1
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1950
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 property at 1143-1151 Bay Street is a two-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1950, currently owned by the Donna Wong Survivor's Trust. The building underwent a significant soft-story retrofit in 2017, costing $90,000, which was completed in compliance with San Francisco earthquake safety requirements. Historical records show the building required compliance work in 1987 (completed), and had a reroofing project in 1992. Multiple routine housing inspections have been conducted over the years, with the most recent active inspection from 2016. The building has experienced several issues related to egress obstruction and gas meter instructions between 2005 and 2008, though all violations were abated, primarily around 2006-2008.

Recent concerns include a mold and mildew report filed in November 2024, which was transferred to the SF Department of Public Health's Healthy Housing Program. There have been two parking-related incidents involving blocked driveways in 2024, with citation issued in one case. Other recent complaints in the surrounding area include pavement defects reported in 2024, graffiti on a fire hydrant in 2021, and various street maintenance issues in 2019. The building has experienced three false fire alarms or malfunctioning alarm system incidents, though no civilian injuries were reported in connection with these events. The property's most recent infrastructure improvements, particularly the completed soft-story retrofit, suggest attention to structural safety, though routine inspections indicate ongoing monitoring of building conditions.

Risk rating

How 1143-1151 Bay 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
40thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 593 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
