Rent & eviction protection

Is 1435-1439 Golden Gate Ave 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 1911
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 1911
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 three-unit residential building at 1435-1439 Golden Gate Avenue, owned by Missionary Temple Christian, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1911 in the Alamo Square neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, most notably in 2018 when multiple violations were addressed, including the installation of carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers, correction of egress obstructions, and repair of damaged terrazzo steps - all of which were abated by September 2018. In 2008, safety concerns regarding an unauthorized utility ladder from the third-floor landing to the roof were resolved through proper removal. The property has a history of maintaining its infrastructure, as evidenced by the 2007 replacement of existing three-level rear yard decks costing $15,000, and earlier improvements such as aluminum window installation in 1986.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking and double parking between 2023-2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. The most recent building-related incidents include a report of improper cleanup of work in 2020 and a 2024 tree maintenance request. A single fire incident was recorded, consisting of a malfunctioning alarm system with no civilian injuries. The building has maintained compliance with safety regulations since the 2018 violations were addressed, and all recent 311 calls related to the property have been resolved, including garbage issues, illegal postings, and tree maintenance concerns, though many of these calls were primarily related to street and sidewalk conditions rather than direct building issues.

Risk rating

How 1435-1439 Golden Gate Ave'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
40thpercentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 183 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
