Rent & eviction protection

Is 1225-1229 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 1906

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.

Built 1906
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 two-unit residential building at 1225-1229 Divisadero Street, located in the Anza Vista neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906 and currently owned by Angela M. Kim. The property has undergone several significant renovation projects over the past few decades, with the most recent substantial work occurring in 2022 when approximately 300 square feet of rear siding was replaced, and repairs were made to the rear deck, stairs, and backyard fence at a cost of $12,000. In 2015, the building experienced multiple violations related to unpermitted work, including unauthorized electrical renovations in both units, which were subsequently addressed through proper permitting and compliance measures. The building has required various maintenance work over the years, including termite repairs in 1997, window and door upgrades in 1999, and flooring and bathroom renovations in 2015, along with electrical system updates. A notable plumbing incident occurred in 2003 involving sewage discharge from a Pacific Bell box, though this was promptly addressed and abated. The property maintains regular maintenance practices, as evidenced by the various completed permits, including recent electrical upgrades and general repairs, though two permits from 1986 related to demolition work were cancelled. While the building has experienced some compliance issues in the past, particularly in 2015 regarding unauthorized renovations, these have been rectified through proper channels and permits.

Risk rating

How 1225-1229 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
64thpercentile

Out of 136 buildings in this neighborhood, 49 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.
