Rent & eviction protection

Is 174-176 Stanyan Blvd 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 1938

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

This three-story multi-family residential building at 174-176 Stanyan Blvd, built in 1938, consists of two units and has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades. The most recent work includes the installation of a mini-split heat pump system in August 2023, though this has since expired, and there were two complaints filed in August 2023 regarding electrical work on the deck and air conditioning installation that raised safety and permitting concerns. Earlier major renovations include a comprehensive remodeling project in 2010 that upgraded two kitchens and five bathrooms, installed lighting, and complied with current electrical codes, followed by the construction of a two-foot-high retaining wall in the rear yard, all totaling approximately $60,000. The building's systems have been regularly maintained, with central forced air heating systems installed in 2011 and the addition of an electric vehicle charging station in 2013.

The property has a history of addressing basic maintenance needs, including multiple roof replacements, with the most recent reroofing permit issued in 2013 at a cost of $5,000. Significant exterior improvements were made in 2008 with the replacement of 25 windows, though that permit expired. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to street-level issues such as encampments, garbage, and parking violations, which are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The most pressing recent concerns appear to be the 2023 electrical and HVAC installation complaints, which were marked as not active but should be noted for their potential impact on resident safety and proper building systems operation.

Risk rating

How 174-176 Stanyan Blvd'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
16thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 436 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
