Rent & eviction protection

Is 1715 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 1923
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1923
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 1715 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by the Rose Hong Family Trust. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with major renovations completed in 2022 that included comprehensive updates to both units (1715 and 1717) involving kitchen, bathroom, living room, and laundry room remodels, plus the addition of new full baths and shower pans. These improvements were accompanied by electrical rewiring and new lighting installations, with Unit 1715 receiving a complete rewiring and new subpanel setup, and Unit 1717 undergoing similar electrical updates. Prior to this, in 2020, the building had its gas water heater replaced, and in 2003, there was a service upgrade to 125 amps. Historical records show earlier attention to building maintenance, including dry rot repairs completed in 1991.

The building's recent history (2021-2024) includes several service requests and incidents in the surrounding area, though none appear to directly affect the building's condition or safety. These external incidents included parking enforcement requests, a noise complaint regarding amplified sound, and occasional street cleanliness issues, all of which were addressed through normal city services. There was also one environmental health service request in 2021, which was transferred to the appropriate department, though the specific nature and outcome of this request are not detailed in the records. A fire incident involving an unintentional alarm transmission was recorded, but no civilian injuries or property damage were reported. The property's comprehensive recent renovations and utility upgrades suggest proactive maintenance by the current ownership, though prospective tenants should note the building's age and the expected wear associated with older properties.

Risk rating

How 1715 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
98thpercentile
