Rent & eviction protection

Is 1431 Eddy 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 1926
2 or more units
12 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM3
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1926
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 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1431 Eddy Street in the Western Addition, owned by Tony Taylor Living Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1926. The building received a new roof in 2009, underwent sewerline work in 2010, and most notably had solar panels and a new subpanel installed in 2020, demonstrating some commitment to modernizing the property. A series of fire safety inspections have revealed recurring issues with alarm systems, exit maintenance, and elevator functionality, with the most recent alarm system complaint occurring in January 2024. The building has experienced multiple violations and complaints over the years, particularly in 2002 and 2008, when several fire safety and general maintenance issues were documented, including egress obstructions, fire escape maintenance, and fire proofing problems. More recent issues have included a 2019 complaint about a non-working toilet and a 2013 report of alleged illegal construction work, though these matters were marked as not active.

The property has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly in the 1990s and early 2000s, with complaints about electrical problems, plumbing issues, rodent infestations, and security concerns. Fire safety has been a recurring theme, with multiple fire-related inspections and incidents recorded, including one building fire (cause unintentional, with no civilian injuries) and various alarm system activations. While recent records from 2024-2025 show numerous 311 calls in the vicinity of the property regarding street cleaning, garbage, and debris issues, it's important to note that these are external to the building itself. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance work being performed, but the frequency of fire system-related complaints and violations suggests ongoing monitoring of safety systems is necessary.

Risk rating

How 1431 Eddy 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
34thpercentile

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 110 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.

Number of units

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
