Rent & eviction protection

Is 821-825 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 1900
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 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 three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building, located at 821-825 Fulton Street in the Alamo Square neighborhood, was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by Ronald G. & Ashley Bond Revo. The property has undergone several significant renovations, particularly between 2007-2013, including substantial garage modifications with foundation work, slab replacements, and structural improvements totaling over $30,000. More recent improvements include a bathroom addition in 2013 to the third-floor unit #821. The building has undergone regular safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent routine inspection in 2018. Several infrastructure issues have been documented, including a sewage incident in 2015, though these were resolved.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and modernization, with multiple electrical upgrades completed in 2003, including a complete rewire and kitchen/bath remodel. A cluster of violations was recorded in September 2008 related to fire safety and gas meter instructions, but these were all abated within two weeks. The property has experienced five small fire-related incidents (three smoke-related situations, one cooking fire, and one alarm malfunction), though none resulted in civilian injuries. More recent service calls to the property primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues such as garbage removal, parking violations, and sidewalk cleaning, with the latest incidents recorded in 2023-2025.

Risk rating

How 821-825 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
64thpercentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 110 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.

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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
