Rent & eviction protection

Is 1473-1477 Pine 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1920
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 1473-1477 Pine Street is a 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1920, containing 2 residential units and commercial space, currently owned by Brian Weatherhill Revocable Trust. The building has a complex maintenance history, with significant recent activity focused on compliance matters. Most notably, in February 2024, work was completed to address multiple code violations, including infilling doors, replacing the furnace, and addressing laundry room modifications, with associated plumbing and electrical work continuing through April 2024. The building has experienced three major incidents in its history: a fire in 1999 that required repairs (completed), and two significant code compliance issues in 2013 and 2022 concerning unpermitted construction and fresh air inlet requirements. In 2021-2022, the building was subject to multiple fire safety inspections and violations, though most were promptly corrected. The property has also experienced recurring fire alarm activations, elevator rescues, and occasional maintenance issues, with documented responses showing no civilian injuries in these incidents.

Recent observations as of late 2024 indicate ongoing challenges with building surroundings, including multiple reports of garbage, debris, and encampments requiring city intervention. The building's recent history shows active compliance efforts, particularly concerning heating systems and general maintenance, with most recent violations being promptly addressed. The property has undergone various improvements over the years, including bathroom and laundry facilities modernization, though some work has required retroactive permits and compliance actions. The ownership has responded to multiple violation notices, with recent permits indicating a focus on bringing various systems up to code, including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. While historical records show multiple fire safety concerns and violations, recent inspections note "No Merit" or "Condition Corrected" resolutions for most fire-related complaints, suggesting improved compliance with safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 1473-1477 Pine 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
79thpercentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 94 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
