Rent & eviction protection

Is 1901 Turk 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.

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

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

1901 Turk Street is a 4-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by 1901 Turk Associates. The building is classified as a Tier 3 Soft Story property and completed its retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $82,000. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade. Most recently, in February 2024, tenants reported concerns about the landlord's unauthorized entry and water shutoffs for unverified plumbing work. The property has had multiple fire safety concerns, with violations regarding fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and general fire safety compliance between 2019 and 2024, though most were subsequently corrected or abated. A notable incident occurred in 2018 when tenants reported potential mold issues, and there was a documented mice infestation in 2015.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep efforts, including the removal/replacement of flues in 1996, various renovations in 1994 (including roofing, window work, and interior updates), and earlier repairs to address dry rot in 1988. Several building violations were recorded in 2009-2012, primarily related to fire safety equipment and structural elements like back stairs. From 2020 to 2024, there have been multiple 311 calls concerning the property, primarily related to street cleaning and debris removal around the building's exterior, though these are municipal issues rather than direct building concerns. Recent fire safety inspections in 2023-2024 have shown improvements, with most violations being promptly addressed, including sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and extinguisher maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 1901 Turk 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 709 are predicted to be safer.
