Rent & eviction protection

Is 914 Broderick 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
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 six-unit, two-story apartment building at 914 Broderick Street, owned by the Fong Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and addressed multiple maintenance issues since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory seismic retrofit program in compliance with Tier 3 soft-story requirements, with work including structural revisions and ground floor reinforcement, with costs totaling $48,000. Recent major improvements include a $28,000 reroofing project completed in 2022 and a structural revision completed that same year to relocate plywood shearwalls. The building's maintenance history reveals several important safety and structural improvements, including the replacement of a collapsed back porch in 1989, restoration work in 1989-1990, and multiple routine safety inspections over the years.

The property has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly in the early 2000s, with a notable cluster of violations recorded in 2003-2004 related to fire safety, window repairs, fire extinguisher requirements, and gas meter issues, all of which were eventually abated. A water damage incident was reported in 1998, and there were concerns about window security and emergency egress in 1998-1999. More recent routine inspections have shown improved compliance, and the building's most significant recent work focused on structural safety and roofing improvements. The most recent 311 calls from 2020-2021 have been primarily for non-building-related issues such as street cleaning and parking concerns, with no immediate building safety or maintenance issues reported through this channel.

Risk rating

How 914 Broderick 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
78thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 175 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
