Rent & eviction protection

Is 44-46 Pixley 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 two-unit residential building at 44-46 Pixley Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Cathleen Allen, is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1924. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most substantial being a seismic retrofit in 2006 that included the installation of concrete anchor bolts and structural reinforcements costing $11,000. Subsequent improvements included a complete window replacement project in 2007 ($9,360), rear stair replacement in 2008 ($5,000), and reroofing work in 2017 ($15,400). Most recently, there was a street space permit issued in 2018 for a nominal cost of $1.

The building's maintenance history suggests reasonable upkeep, though there have been some recent quality-of-life issues documented through 311 calls. These include three incidents of driveway blocking (most recently in October 2023 and August 2024), one instance of graffiti (May 2024), and several street cleaning requests between 2020-2024. The property has also experienced some temporary encampment-related issues in the vicinity, with documented cleanups in June 2018 and February 2020. A moving-related temporary sign request was submitted and remains open as of June 2020. The most recent interaction with city services was a Rent Board fee and housing inventory request in January 2025, which was resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 44-46 Pixley 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
77thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 198 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
