Rent & eviction protection

Is 1841 Scott 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 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1841 Scott Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Rc Amore Realtors Llc, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2017, with work valued at $120,000, bringing the structure into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including water line and sewer trap replacements in 2016 and 2015 respectively, and received attention to its exterior wood stairs in 1994.

The property's maintenance history shows a commitment to addressing safety concerns, though it faced a series of building violations in early 2000 related to fire safety, egress obstruction, and security requirements, all of which were promptly abated by March 2000. More recent complaints and issues have been minimal, with the most recent relating to noise disturbances from construction activities in July 2024. The building has experienced some fire alarm system issues in 2012 and 2014, though records indicate these were promptly corrected. A routine safety inspection in 2013 and two soft-story screening form violations in 2014 were addressed, with the building ultimately completing the required retrofitting work. The property has been subject to regular inspections and monitoring, including a 311 call regarding encampment cleanup in 2016, which was resolved.

Risk rating

How 1841 Scott 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
32ndpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 456 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
