Rent & eviction protection

Is 1904 Golden Gate 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 before 1979
Built 1895
2 or more units

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 1895
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

1904 Golden Gate Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Park North neighborhood. Built in 1895 and currently owned by the Gibson Family 2014 Revocable Trust, this flats and duplex property has experienced several notable events over recent years. The building's maintenance history shows a reroofing project was initiated in 1991, though records indicate this permit has since expired. A significant infrastructure issue occurred in September 2020 when there was a sewage backup involving a 4-inch vent that required attention from PUC Sewer Operations and was subsequently resolved through a Maximo Work Order.

The property has faced multiple challenges related to street and sidewalk maintenance, particularly in 2020-2021, with seven documented issues including three instances of illegal sidewalk parking (resulting in citations), two cases of loose garbage requiring general cleaning, and one report of an abandoned motorcycle. The most recent incidents at the address have been parking-related, with two enforcement actions occurring in late 2024, including a driveway blocking case that resulted in a citation. The building's location has also experienced issues with abandoned furniture (October 2024) and damaged curb painting (August 2021), though these matters were eventually resolved.

Risk rating

How 1904 Golden Gate 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
