Rent & eviction protection

Is 1814-1818 Filbert 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 1900
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 1900
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-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1814-1818 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Gordon/Clifford Realty Inc, has a history of maintenance and safety compliance dating back to its 1900 construction. The property completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 (Tier 3), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes a 2022 repair of dry rot in both front (under 50%) and rear (under 20%) staircases, involving replacement of treads, steps, decking, and handrails, though notably no structural work was required. Historical improvements include a kitchen remodel in 2000, comprehensive plumbing upgrades including a water heater replacement in 2009, and various plumbing and structural maintenance tasks throughout the years.

The building underwent routine housing inspections in 1995, 2002, and 2006, with all identified violations being promptly addressed and abated by May 2002. These violations primarily concerned security and safety requirements, including gas utility shutoff tools and entry door viewers, all of which were resolved. Recent reports from 2022-2023 indicate some ongoing neighborhood maintenance challenges, including periodic issues with graffiti, abandoned furniture, and garbage collection concerns, though these are primarily external to the building itself. A sidewalk tree root issue was reported in 2023 and remains open, potentially affecting the building's immediate surroundings. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and prompt attention to both routine maintenance and safety requirements, with no current active violations or complaints against the building.

Risk rating

How 1814-1818 Filbert 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
42ndpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 499 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
