Rent & eviction protection

Is 1866 Turk 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 1900

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 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 two-unit residential building at 1866 Turk Street in the Anza Vista neighborhood, owned by Schmorak 2015 Tr, is a two-story apartment structure built in 1900. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair works over the years, with the most substantial documented work occurring in 2012 when structural repairs were completed at a cost of $6,900, addressing issues such as dry rot in rear stairs, baseboard problems on the porch, siding and trim repairs, and damage to door jambs. A water heater-related incident in 2008 caused carpet damage that required replacement due to mold and mildew, and while the water heater was replaced later that year, this incident highlights past maintenance challenges. The building has undergone several basic infrastructure updates, including reroofing work in 1995 and street space-related work in 2019.

The surrounding area has experienced various street-level issues in recent years, particularly in 2023, with reports of human or animal waste, graffiti, and medical waste (needles) noted between June and September 2023. There have also been multiple instances of illegal postings in the vicinity between 2020 and 2021, along with occasional noise complaints and parking issues. While these external factors do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions, they provide context about the immediate neighborhood environment. The most recent building permit activity was minimal, with only a single street space permit issued in 2019 showing relatively low-cost work.

Risk rating

How 1866 Turk 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
61stpercentile

Out of 136 buildings in this neighborhood, 53 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
