Rent & eviction protection

Is 1529-1533 Jackson 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 1909
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 1909
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-unit multi-family residential building at 1529-1533 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by Calvin Wong 2017 Living Trust, was constructed in 1909 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure spanning three stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent being a complete electrical system upgrade in February 2024, including the installation of a new 400-amp underground service and four meters (one for the house and one for each unit). In 2022, nine windows were replaced, including seven facing the street, with wood-clad picture windows. Additional recent improvements include the installation of a gas fireplace system in May 2023 and a pending reroofing project filed in October 2024.

The building experienced a compliance issue in October 2015 related to exterior paint scraping work, which resulted in multiple building violations concerning containment, barrier systems, and work practices. These violations were all resolved by February 2016. The property has had routine housing inspections in 1999 and 2007, both of which were successfully completed. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the exterior area between 2016 and 2024, these were primarily related to street cleaning and maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems, including reports of garbage, debris, and occasional graffiti. A fire alarm system activation was also recorded, though this was determined to be unintentional with no actual fire or civilian injuries involved.

Risk rating

How 1529-1533 Jackson 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
82ndpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 202 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
