Rent & eviction protection

Is 1051-1053 Divisadero 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 1912

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 1912
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 two-unit residential building at 1051-1053 Divisadero Street in the Park North neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1912, currently owned by Anna M Martin. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past four decades, most notably a comprehensive bathroom remodeling project on the first floor in 2010 that included installation of new fixtures, lighting, and plumbing systems, with a reported cost of $7,000. Earlier renovations include a complete rehabilitation in 1985 that added sprinklers and skylights, and a reroofing project in 1998, though the latter's permit is listed as expired. A garage door opener installation was attempted in 2002, but this permit is also marked as expired.

The property has experienced recurring issues with abandoned furniture and debris on the exterior between 2022 and 2025, with six documented cases of furniture removal through Recology's services in the second half of 2024 alone. There have been two instances of graffiti in 2021-2022, both of which were resolved through municipal intervention. In terms of recent history, the building's second floor has been subject to proposed conversions between residential and office use, with planning records showing approved applications for conversion to offices in the C-2 and Interim NC-2 districts, though the developer information is listed as "None fNone." The most recent service calls have primarily concerned exterior maintenance issues rather than structural or safety concerns within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1051-1053 Divisadero 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.
