Rent & eviction protection

Is 1343 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 1900
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
NC2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 2-story, 4-unit apartment building at 1343 Divisadero St in Anza Vista, owned by Lin Tze-hsiou, has a documented history dating back to 1900. The property underwent a reroofing project in 2011 costing $15,200. Significant safety and maintenance issues were identified in early 2018, including problems with egress, carbon monoxide alarms, combustible storage in the garage, window maintenance in unit #1, wood stair repairs, fire escape ladder condition, handrail requirements, and fire extinguisher servicing - all of which were officially abated by August 2018. The building has experienced recurring issues with garbage management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls and complaints throughout 2020-2024, including documented problems with debris in the backyard and stairwells, as well as concerns about pest control. There have also been several fire safety-related complaints between 2016 and 2024, including issues with alarm systems, fire escape maintenance, electrical systems, sprinklers/standpipe systems, and extinguisher servicing, with most being corrected promptly. A notable incident in 2014 involved a water shut-off due to an unpaid bill. The property has experienced multiple fire alarm activations and system checks, including a natural gas leak incident, but no civilian injuries have been reported in these events. Recent 311 activity from late 2024 has predominantly focused on garbage and debris issues near the property.

Risk rating

How 1343 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.

Neighborhood percentile
8thpercentile

Out of 136 buildings in this neighborhood, 125 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
