Rent & eviction protection

Is 1355 Post 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 1978
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.

Built 1978
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 40-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1355 Post Street, built in 1978, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the past few years. Most notably, there are ongoing fire safety improvements, with an active permit from 2024 to upgrade the fire alarm system and address various code compliance requirements, following multiple fire code violations issued between 2022-2024. Recent complaints and incidents have raised serious concerns about building safety and maintenance, particularly regarding the elevator system, which has generated multiple tenant complaints in 2023-2024, including reports of being stuck in the elevator and expired permits. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with violations including sleeping area requirements, combustibles storage, and alarm system maintenance, though some violations show as abated. Earlier maintenance work included structural and systems improvements such as hot water tank installation in 2017, dry rot repairs in 2016, and roofing work in 2006 and 1999.

Historical records show earlier concerns about building systems, including hot water problems in 2017, common area maintenance issues, and elevator reliability concerns dating back to 1999. The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years, including plumbing upgrades with new house traps installed in 2017 and regular maintenance such as reroofing projects. Recent activity in early 2025 indicates ongoing challenges with building surroundings, including reports of graffiti, debris, and sidewalk maintenance issues. The building's current management has been actively addressing violations as they are identified, though several recent violations from late 2023 remain open regarding sleeping area requirements.

Risk rating

How 1355 Post 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
51stpercentile

Out of 85 buildings in this neighborhood, 42 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
