Rent & eviction protection

Is 1805-1807 Divisadero 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 1903
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 1903
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 1805-1807 Divisadero St, owned by Schmidt Legacy Gen IV LLC, is a mixed-use building constructed in 1903 containing two residential units located in Lower Pacific Heights. The building has undergone several significant transformations and faced multiple regulatory challenges in recent years. Most notably, from 2018 to 2022, there was a complex situation involving the legalization of a second-floor residential unit and the conversion of existing spaces, including a fitness facility (CORE 40), which operated without proper permits during 2017-2022, leading to multiple complaints and violations. The property underwent substantial work between 2015-2022 to address these issues, including $260,000 in renovations in 2018 to restore the second-floor dwelling unit, upgrade ADA compliance, and legalize various facilities.

Recent maintenance and improvements include plumbing upgrades in 2023 (bathroom fixtures), 2021 (new bathroom, laundry, kitchen), and electrical work in 2021 (wiring for multiple rooms). The building has experienced several fire safety-related incidents, with multiple alarm activations (no fire) recorded, and in May 2023, a fire code violation was documented regarding fire extinguisher servicing, though this was subsequently abated. There have been ongoing exterior maintenance challenges, with recent complaints about graffiti (May 2024), sidewalk defects (December 2022), and multiple noise complaints in 2023-2024. The property has also undergone various infrastructure improvements, including re-roofing in 2017 and multiple plumbing system upgrades. Notable recent permits include a 2024 establishment of trade office use, following previous attempts to convert the space for commercial purposes.

Risk rating

How 1805-1807 Divisadero 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.
