Rent & eviction protection

Is 1067-1071 Fell 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 three-unit residential building at 1067-1071 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the Mok Family Trust, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, most notably a reroofing project completed in 2017 at a cost of $7,000, and a major sewer line replacement in 2012 that involved approximately 20 feet of pipe installation using trenchless technology. A concerning historical issue was documented in 2001 when repairs were needed for dry-rotten rear stairs, though the permit for this work expired without confirmation of completion. The building has been subject to regular routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent occurring in 2017, and three violations were recorded in 2008 related to fire safety and security requirements - specifically regarding fire extinguisher maintenance and door viewer installations - though these were promptly abated within one month.

Recent maintenance and safety concerns have primarily involved external factors, including multiple 311 calls in 2020 regarding general cleaning needs and sidewalk conditions, with one persistent reporting of a collapsed sidewalk from March 2020 still showing as open/accepted. The building's fire safety record shows one incident in which a carbon monoxide detector was activated due to malfunction, with no civilian injuries reported. The property has maintained a consistent pattern of addressing infrastructure and safety requirements, though some historical permits show incomplete status, such as the 1983 permits that lack specified details in the available records.

Risk rating

How 1067-1071 Fell 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
48thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 534 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.
