Rent & eviction protection

Is 1614-1616 Mcallister 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

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 property at 1614-1616 McAllister Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Green Hills Views LLC. The building has undergone significant renovations and updates over the past several years, including major interior reconfigurations in 2016-2019 that added bathrooms, bedrooms, and various living spaces across all three units, along with foundation work to replace the brick foundation with concrete in 2016. Recent improvements focus on safety systems, with the most substantial development being the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building, with permits issued in December 2023 for 116 sprinkler heads and a 2-inch dedicated fire service. The building has seen extensive plumbing and electrical upgrades, including new plumbing installations for multiple bathrooms and kitchens, electrical systems updates with new fixtures and safety equipment, and the installation of a fire alarm system for sprinkler monitoring in early 2024.

The property has faced some challenges in recent years, particularly in 2020-2022, when it was subject to multiple complaints regarding compliance with the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance, with concerns about exterior maintenance and reports of being possibly abandoned. These issues were officially abated in August 2023. The building has also had several street-level maintenance issues documented through 311 calls between 2018-2023, including reports of garbage accumulation and cleaning needs, though these are typical for urban environments and not necessarily indicative of building condition. All major building systems are currently being renewed or upgraded, as evidenced by multiple active permits in 2024 covering fire safety, plumbing, electrical systems, and additional building improvements.

Risk rating

How 1614-1616 Mcallister 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.
