Rent & eviction protection

Is 1211 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 1870

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 1870
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 1211 Scott Street in the Western Addition, owned by Saagar & Ryan Patel-Francis, is a historic, 2-story structure dating back to 1870. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being extensive kitchen renovations in 2021 costing $100,000, which included electrical upgrades and laundry area remodels. In 2018, an earthquake shut-off valve was successfully installed, and the building previously underwent a voluntary soft-story seismic retrofit analysis in 2015, though related permits for additional work were ultimately cancelled. The building has experienced multiple fire department responses, primarily related to contained cooking fires and alarm system activations, though none resulted in injuries or significant damage. Historical maintenance records show repairs to stairs, decks, and other structural elements dating back to 1984, with a notable building complaint in 2000 regarding ceiling leaks, deck rot, and skylight issues that was resolved within four months. More recent years (2022-2024) have seen recurring issues with sidewalk parking violations, graffiti, and occasional reports of human waste near the property, though these external issues are not directly related to building conditions. A notable planning record from 2015 indicates a proposed addition of an accessory dwelling unit along with various repairs and waterproofing work, though it's unclear from the records if this was ultimately completed.

Risk rating

How 1211 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
98thpercentile

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 3 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
