Rent & eviction protection

Is 1-9 Edward 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 1900

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 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 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1-9 Edward Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades. The most recent work, ongoing as of late 2024, includes extensive interior renovations with the installation of insulation and sheetrock throughout, along with kitchen, laundry, and bathroom plumbing remodeling. These updates follow a series of plumbing and electrical violations identified in October 2021 regarding an illegal basement unit, which were addressed and resolved by January 2022 through proper permits and repairs to the sewage line and electrical systems. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including a completed reroofing project in 2006 and stair replacement in 2009. Multiple fire alarm activations have occurred over the years, though none resulted in fires or civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to structural maintenance and park services, suggesting ongoing attention to building upkeep. In 2021, the building faced several code compliance issues including fire safety, plumbing permits, and structural maintenance concerns, all of which were successfully abated through proper procedures. The property has a documented history of addressing maintenance needs, with the most recent permits indicating substantial ongoing improvements to the building's interior systems.

Risk rating

How 1-9 Edward 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
