Rent & eviction protection

Is 1814-1820 Bush 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 property at 1814-1820 Bush Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Eastrend Enterprises Inc. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) with associated foundation work, and more recently, in February 2024, replacing its electrical panel and breakers to upgrade electrical safety. Other major improvements include a complete reroofing in 2012 ($13,800), plumbing upgrades including sewer replacement in 2017, and various unit-specific renovations including a kitchen remodel in 2006.

The building has a history of addressing safety and maintenance requirements, though it experienced a series of fire safety violations in early 2016, including issues with fire extinguishers and sprinkler requirements, all of which were resolved by April 2016. The property has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2001, 2010, and 2016, demonstrating ongoing oversight of building maintenance. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved external matters such as garbage cleanup (2024), noise complaints (2021-2022), and occasional graffiti (2020), all of which have been addressed through normal municipal channels. The building also has documented its compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements through the completion of the soft-story retrofit program.

Risk rating

How 1814-1820 Bush 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
50thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 335 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.

Building size

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

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