Rent & eviction protection

Is 833-835 Fillmore 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

The property at 833-835 Fillmore Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the White Family Living Trust and consisting of three units. The building has undergone significant renovations, most notably in 2013 when major improvements were made including a new kitchen and bathroom installations, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work totaling over $48,000. This renovation period saw the conversion of one bathroom to a laundry room, extensive electrical rewiring, and the installation of a high-efficiency furnace. Earlier issues from 2005-2009 included some concerning violations, such as unpermitted work, problems with drainage, and serious habitability issues including reported mold, mildew, and pest problems, though all these violations were officially abated by June 2009.

The property has had various maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including roof repairs, electrical updates, and plumbing system upgrades to modernize the facilities. A notable incident occurred in 2007 regarding unauthorized work on the front stairs and landing, which was part of the Alamo Square Historic District, though this was subsequently addressed through proper channels. The building's recent history (2013-2023) shows no major building violations or safety concerns, with only routine maintenance and cleaning issues reported via 311 calls in 2023. The most recent building inspection records have been clear of violations, suggesting that major renovation work completed in 2013 brought the building up to current standards.

Risk rating

How 833-835 Fillmore 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
88thpercentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 37 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
