Rent & eviction protection

Is 449 Parker 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 1937

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 1937
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

This two-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 449 Parker Avenue in Lone Mountain, owned by Lacombe Francois & Amel, was constructed in 1937 and has undergone several significant modifications and repairs over the past decades. Most notably, in 2020 the property underwent substantial interior renovations including kitchen, bathroom, and pantry replacements totaling $100,000, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed throughout the year. The building has experienced recurring issues with its rear yard retaining wall, with the most recent repair completed in 2023 costing $25,000, following a 2019 complaint about its unsafe condition. This historical problem, which included a 2007 permit application (cancelled) for horizontal extension and legalizing a second dwelling unit, suggested ongoing structural concerns with the property. The owners have made some environmentally-conscious improvements, including solar panel installation in 2005. Recent quality-of-life issues have been relatively minor, with 311 calls primarily relating to street cleaning, graffiti, and sign repairs between 2015-2023. The property has maintained compliance with building codes, with the only notable violation being the 2019 retaining wall issue, which was abated in 2022.

Risk rating

How 449 Parker 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
68thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 166 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
