Rent & eviction protection

Is 45-47 Fortuna Ave 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 1948

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 1948
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 45-47 Fortuna Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Anza Vista. Built in 1948 and currently owned by Harriet M Fotis Revocable Living Trust, this flats and duplex-style structure has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building received substantial plumbing upgrades in recent years, including a complete water service replacement in 2019 and a 25-foot sewer line replacement in 2015. Other significant maintenance and improvements include the installation of two new forced air furnaces in 2014, replacement of water heaters in 2009, and vinyl siding installation on the rear wall in 2008. The building has been maintained regularly, with earlier works including window replacements in 1998, wood repairs in 2002, and foundation reinforcement in 1996.

The property has experienced some recent issues affecting the surrounding area, most notably a sidewalk defect reported in October 2022 that remains open. There have been several resolved incidents related to parking violations, waste management, and unauthorized postings in recent years, including a 2021 sidewalk parking citation and multiple 2020 service requests related to waste receptacles. While these incidents indicate some neighborhood maintenance challenges, they are primarily external to the building itself. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with no major safety violations or concerning patterns noted in the available data, suggesting responsible management of the two-unit building over time.

Risk rating

How 45-47 Fortuna Ave'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
