Rent & eviction protection

Is 1926-1928 Jefferson 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 1935

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.

Built 1935
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 1926-1928 Jefferson Street in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1935 and currently owned by the Ottorino E Pasian Trust. The building has a troubling history of complaints and potential code violations, most notably regarding unauthorized units and safety concerns. As of December 2023, there are active concerns about an unauthorized rooftop unit (described as an "adjunct 1 bed/bath unit" with kitchen facilities) that has reportedly been rented in the past year, creating fire safety concerns due to lack of proper firewalls. This follows earlier complaints in 2022 about unauthorized residential use of the top unit and rooftop, with access via non-code-compliant exterior stairs. The building has undergone various permitted modifications over the years, including seismic reinforcing work in 1990 (now expired), ground floor bedroom and bathroom construction in 1998, and more recent roof-related work.

The property has experienced recurring plumbing and sewer issues, with multiple sewage backup incidents reported between 2020 and 2021, and a recent plumbing issue reported in December 2024, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges. There were also historical concerns about illegal short-term rentals in 2018 and unauthorized garage conversion issues. Recent building permit activity includes a 2025 application for a roof deck addition, though this is currently in triage status. The property has had several maintenance issues, including tree removal permits in 2020-2021 and various traffic-related incidents on Jefferson Street, though these are less critical to resident safety. While some historical complaints have been resolved and records show various completed permits, the persistence of unauthorized unit concerns and recent maintenance issues warrants attention, particularly regarding safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 1926-1928 Jefferson 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
52ndpercentile
