Rent & eviction protection

Is 119-121 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

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 two-unit multi-family residential building at 119-121 Fillmore Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Jacobson Fmly Tr 2002, was constructed in 1900 and features two stories plus retail space. The building underwent significant renovations in 1984-1985, including complete interior gutting, foundation rebuilding, and the addition of kitchen and bathroom facilities on a third floor, though some bathroom relocation plans were ultimately cancelled. A notable series of violations was documented in early 2003 following a housing complaint, with issues including stair repairs, fire safety requirements (fire extinguisher maintenance, smoke detectors), gas meter requirements, and combustible storage concerns. These violations were all resolved by April 2023. More recently, in 2019, there was an electrical concern involving suspicious wiring extending onto the sidewalk, though this was marked as not active. The property has generated numerous cleaning-related service requests in late 2024, primarily regarding loose garbage and debris on the street, with some involving furniture and a sidewalk defect due to tree roots, though most of these were resolved with no work needed or marked as duplicate requests.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing basic safety and maintenance issues, particularly in the aftermath of the 2003 violations which prompted various repairs including rear stairs and garage roofing work. While the property has maintained compliance with major building codes following the 2003 resolution, the recent cluster of 2024 service requests regarding street cleaning and debris suggests ongoing challenges with waste management in the immediate vicinity. Notably, there has been one recorded fire incident involving unauthorized burning, but with no civilian injuries reported. The most recent permitted work on record dates back to 2003, with no major structural or system improvements documented in the past two decades, though this may not fully reflect all routine maintenance performed by the current owners.

Risk rating

How 119-121 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
41stpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 606 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
