Rent & eviction protection

Is 1341-1343 Mcallister 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 1900
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1900
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

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 1341-1343 McAllister Street in Alamo Square, owned by Third Baptist Church of SF, has a troubling history of maintenance issues spanning several decades. Most concerning are the recent complaints from 2020 regarding falling plaster and ceiling damage, including the presence of 5% asbestos, with holes in both bedroom and living room ceilings. Earlier complaints from 2018 and 2017 highlighted problems with heating systems, safety concerns about exposed wiring, and potential wood rot in the back stairs. Historical records from 2003 reveal a significant cluster of violations including water damage, window repairs, floor covering issues, and concerns about lead paint, all of which were reportedly abated by September 2003.

The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to critical systems, including furnace replacements and duct insulation work in 2017, though many older permits, such as those for reroofing (2002), illegal office removal (1997), and dry rot removal (1994) are listed as expired. While there is one active planning record from 2021 regarding an unauthorized motorcycle repair shop operating in the garage, this may no longer be relevant given its current status as "Closed - Abated." The property has also experienced ongoing parking-related issues in recent years, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between 2021 and 2024, though these are external to the building's structural concerns.

Risk rating

How 1341-1343 Mcallister 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
29thpercentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 217 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
