Rent & eviction protection

Is 147 Wood 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

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 1965
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 Artal Living Trust-owned 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 147 Wood Street in Lone Mountain, built in 1965, has undergone significant structural improvements in recent years, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2016 involving moment frames and shearwalls at a cost of $60,000, followed by additional structural work in 2016-2017. The property has seen multiple unit upgrades, with recent renovations in 2017 (Unit 2 kitchen & bathroom remodel) and 2016 (Units 5 & 6 kitchen & bathroom remodels), including associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $30,000. However, there have been serious safety and maintenance concerns, notably a cluster of building violations filed in May 2021 related to mold, damaged walls, plumbing issues, and lead hazards, all of which were abated by June 2021. The building has experienced recurring infrastructure problems, including sewer issues (May 2021), and historical complaints about hot water availability (2013), drainage problems (2012), and fire safety concerns (2016-2020) regarding exit maintenance and fire escape access. Recent fire system upgrades were completed in 2017, with the building achieving soft-story compliance and receiving its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). While many renovation projects improve the building's condition, the property has a history of maintenance challenges and housing code violations that required intervention and abatement.

Risk rating

How 147 Wood 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
