Rent & eviction protection

Is 1656-1660 Fulton 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 1904

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 three-story multi-family residential building at 1656-1660 Fulton St, owned by Antonio & Rita Castellucci, has a long history dating back to 1904. The 4-unit property has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the years, with the most significant period of concern occurring between 2002-2013 when multiple violations and complaints were documented. These included serious safety and habitability issues such as mold, rodent infestations, water heater problems, and structural concerns. In 2002, the building faced several violations related to fire safety, building codes, and sanitation, including requirements for fire sprinklers, stairs repair, egress obstruction removal, and fire extinguishers, all of which were eventually abated by December 2002.

More recent work on the property has included various repairs and renovations, such as siding replacement in 2013, stair replacement in 2012, and multiple dry rot repairs in 2004, showing ongoing maintenance efforts by the owners. Plumbing issues were addressed in 2012 and 2009, including water heater venting and downspout drainage installation. The building underwent a routine safety inspection in 2016, and while there have been recent 311 calls regarding exterior issues like sidewalk defects (2023) and tree-related property damage (2023), there have been no major building violations or complaints filed in recent years. The most recent fire complaint from May 2020 was resolved within four days, indicating prompt attention to safety concerns. The property has maintained a pattern of requiring periodic repairs and improvements, particularly during the 2000s, but shows fewer recent complaints regarding habitability issues.

Risk rating

How 1656-1660 Fulton 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
16thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 669 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
