Rent & eviction protection

Is 1840-1844 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 1908

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 1908
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 1840-1844 McAllister Street in Park North, constructed in 1908, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few decades. Most notably, in late 2017, the property faced multiple violations including rodent infestation, exterior wood paint issues, lead hazard concerns, stair repairs, and fire safety compliance matters, all of which were relatively promptly addressed and abated by July 2018. During this same period, there were documented problems with the back stairs deteriorating condition and cracking boards. In 2018, the building underwent window replacements for six dry-rotted top sash windows on the front facade, and in 2018-2019, the property had some structural safety concerns with loose scaffolding reported in early 2019.

The building has a history of fire-related issues, including a minor fire incident that required roof and third-floor repairs in 1995 costing $75,000, and more recent fire safety concerns in 2012 that involved alarm system corrections. Earlier maintenance work includes seismic improvements completed in 2003, which involved installing plywood and hold-downs at the basement level. The property has undergone several routine safety inspections over the years, with the most recent concerns primarily revolving around exterior maintenance and safety compliance that have been addressed. Recent 311 calls from early 2025 primarily relate to street cleaning and debris removal, indicating ongoing general maintenance matters in the immediate vicinity of the building. The most recent building permits and violations suggest that major structural and safety issues have been resolved, though periodic maintenance continues to be required given the building's age and condition.

Risk rating

How 1840-1844 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

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
47thpercentile
