Rent & eviction protection

Is 1164 Fulton 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 1889
2 or more units

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 1889
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 1164 Fulton Street in Alamo Square is a 3-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1889 and currently owned by Olema Investments LLC. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with major projects completed between 2014-2016 including the installation of a residential elevator, a comprehensive electrical renovation valued at $60,000, the addition of a residential fire sprinkler system, and extensive plumbing upgrades that included new underground plumbing for five bathrooms, two kitchens, and various other fixtures. In 2021, a building permit was issued to replace the front entry door with a new security door following a code violation notice, with a cost of $30,000.

The building's historical preservation work has included facade restoration to its original design and the filling in of a third-floor lightwell at the rear, for which variance approvals were obtained. The property has faced three notable building violations in its history: one in 2008 related to fire safety equipment and smoke detectors (which were abated in 2009), and a more recent violation in 2021 regarding unauthorized facade alterations in a historical district. Recent maintenance issues documented through 311 calls (2023-2024) have primarily concerned street-level concerns such as garbage disposal and parking violations, with one open structural maintenance issue regarding graffiti reported in August 2024. The most recent significant infrastructure improvement was the installation of a Tesla wall connector in 2019, indicating the building's accommodation for modern electric vehicle charging needs.

Risk rating

How 1164 Fulton 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.
