Rent & eviction protection

Is 1903 Broderick 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 1927

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.

Annual rent increase cap

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

1903 Broderick Street is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Mark Kohi & Shahin Khan Rev. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most recent concern being a leaning structure reported in January 2023, affecting Unit #5 with uneven floors and large gaps in doorframes. The building underwent a hot water boiler replacement in September 2023, representing recent infrastructure maintenance. Between 2004-2009, the building faced multiple violations related to heating system deficiencies, fire safety, and electrical concerns, all of which were subsequently abated. More recently, three fire safety complaints between 2017 and 2024 regarding extinguishers, alarm systems, and sprinkler/standpipe systems were corrected, indicating ongoing attention to fire safety requirements.

The building has a history of fire alarm activations and safety system tests, though none resulted in injuries or actual fires. Recent maintenance records show attention to street space management in late 2018, while earlier records from the 1990s show expired permits for reroofing work. The property has experienced multiple street-related issues in the vicinity, as evidenced by several 311 calls between 2024 and 2025 regarding garbage, debris, and parking violations, though these are external to the building itself. The building's age and history of various infrastructure systems suggest ongoing maintenance requirements, with recent records indicating continued attention to building systems, particularly heating and fire safety.

Risk rating

How 1903 Broderick 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 751 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
