Rent & eviction protection

Is 1875 Sacramento 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 13-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1875 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Chin Carey Duane, has demonstrated a commitment to safety improvements over recent years, completing a soft-story retrofit in 2015 and a significant fire alarm system upgrade in 2024. Recent concerns include an active complaint from January 2025 regarding persistent sewage leakage showing potential mold issues, which followed a previous pattern of heating system violations documented in 2000 and 2007. The building, constructed in 1913, completed several structural and safety upgrades in the 1990s, including roof replacement and seismic modifications.

The property's history includes multiple fire safety system inspections and violations between 2017 and 2023, all of which were subsequently resolved. Street space permits have been frequently obtained over the years, with the most recent street-related issues appearing in late 2023 involving general cleaning and debris. Multiple 311 calls in recent months (2023-2024) have been recorded primarily regarding dog barking noise and street cleaning matters, indicating ongoing upkeep challenges. A notable complaint from 2016 raised concerns about tree maintenance and refuse bin placement during retrofit work, though this was marked as not active. While the building has generally resolved past code violations and completed mandatory retrofits, the recent plumbing issues and ongoing maintenance calls suggest there may be current building system challenges that require attention.

Risk rating

How 1875 Sacramento 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
29thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 684 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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
