Rent & eviction protection

Is 916-918 Anza 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 1940

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.

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

Located in San Francisco's Lone Mountain neighborhood, 916-918 Anza St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Christopher M. Menke. The property has undergone several significant renovations, most notably in 2009 when comprehensive kitchen updates were performed in both units, including new cabinets, appliances, electrical work, flooring, and windows at a cost of approximately $37,600. More recent improvements include plumbing and electrical upgrades completed in 2021, which involved additional kitchen remodels and electrical system enhancements.

The building has faced some maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly concerning lead paint hazards. Multiple violations were recorded between 2022 and 2023, including exterior paint condition issues and weatherproofing concerns, with warnings regarding lead paint hazards. A significant complaint about extreme deferred maintenance and peeling paint was filed in July 2023. The property previously had ventilation system issues in 2019 that were resolved shortly after being reported. Planning records indicate historical issues with illegal short-term rentals, which have since been abated, and there have been attempts at condo conversion that were either withdrawn or marked as informational.

Risk rating

How 916-918 Anza 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.
