Rent & eviction protection

Is 1004-1010 Pierce 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 1918
2 or more units

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 1918
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 two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1004-1010 Pierce Street in the Western Addition, owned by Dimitris Drolapas, was constructed in 1918. The property has undergone several maintenance and renovation projects over its history, including bathroom remodels in 1998 and 1999, though the latter permit expired without confirmation of completion. More concerning are the building's safety and maintenance issues documented between 2008-2010, including violations related to fire safety equipment (fire extinguisher servicing and updates) and structural concerns (wood stairs requiring repair). All these violations were officially abated by February 2, 2011.

Recent activity at the property from late 2024 indicates ongoing concerns with external maintenance, particularly regarding sidewalk conditions and tree root damage (as reported on November 23, 2024). There has been a pattern of 311 calls relating to garbage and debris on the property or nearby areas throughout 2024, with multiple reports of loose garbage and waste. The building's immediate surroundings have also experienced some infrastructure issues, including sidewalk defects, though some cases were found not to be within the city's scope for repair. The only fire-related incident on record was a system malfunction with no civilian injuries reported. A notable pattern of external cleanliness concerns is evident from the numerous 311 calls related to garbage debris in the vicinity, though most have been resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 1004-1010 Pierce 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
67thpercentile

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 55 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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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