Rent & eviction protection

Is 1013-1017 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 1925

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
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 property at 1013-1017 Divisadero Street is a mixed-use building constructed in 1925, consisting of two residential units and a commercial space, currently owned by Karen Natoli Maxwell. The building has undergone significant recent commercial development, with the most notable change being the conversion of a former laundromat to a cannabis retail store in 2021, which included a $120,000 build-out with subsequent modifications including a service counter revision ($1) in 2023. The building has seen substantial infrastructure improvements, particularly in 2012-2023, including complete rewiring of all units, installation of a new 400-amp electrical panel, kitchen renovations, and the most recent addition of a gas furnace and ductwork in October 2023.

The property has experienced some maintenance and compliance issues over the years. A scraping paint violation was filed in March 2021, and there have been recurring issues with graffiti on both the residential and commercial portions of the building, particularly notable during the pandemic period when enforcement was suspended. More recently, in July 2024, there was a sewage backup issue that required attention from the Public Utilities Commission. The building's commercial space has generated some street-related complaints, including illegal parking incidents and sidewalk space concerns, particularly during the cannabis retail transition period. Historical context shows past illegal use violations in 2015-2016 involving unauthorized music events, though these appear to have been addressed. The property's recent transitions and improvements indicate significant investment in both residential and commercial components, though residents should note the building's history of graffiti occurrences and recent maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 1013-1017 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.

Neighborhood percentile
92ndpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 64 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
