Rent & eviction protection

Is 924 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 1927
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.

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

924 Fulton Street is a 27-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927 and owned by Franciscan-fulton Investmnt. The property has experienced significant elevator reliability issues in 2023-2024, with several tenant complaints about outages lasting weeks, particularly affecting disabled residents. The building underwent numerous compliance issues in 2023, resulting in multiple permits for safety improvements, including handrails, dryer vents, egress lighting, and exhaust ducts. These violations were addressed between April and November 2023, though some related to fire safety equipment and documentation requirements appear to still be open or were only recently abated. A rodent infestation was reported in mid-2023, showing delayed management response to pest control measures.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, with periodic inspections revealing various issues including problems with stair assemblies (1998), roofing work (2003 and 2006), and multiple fire safety violations between 2007 and 2023. Recent complaints have focused on elevator service, rodent infestations, and various building systems requiring maintenance. While most violations from the 2023 inspections have been addressed as of November 2023, there remain open violations regarding sleeping area requirements and some historical fire safety documentation issues from 2017. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the years, including roof work in 2003 and 2006, hot water tank replacement in 2007, and various electrical upgrades in 2023.

Risk rating

How 924 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.

Neighborhood percentile
8thpercentile

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 154 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
