Rent & eviction protection

Is 1769 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 before 1979
Built 1924
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1924
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 two-story mixed-use building at 1769 Fulton St, constructed in 1924 and containing four residential units, has undergone significant recent activity under current ownership by Karaoke Yaya Lp. Most notably, there has been a substantial restaurant renovation project (Piqueos Restaurant) completed in 2022 costing $200,000, which included interior cosmetic updates, bar relocation, exit passageway addition, and facade improvements. Subsequent improvements in 2023-2024 included the installation of a fire suppression system, trash enclosure modifications, and various facility improvements totaling over $65,000. The building’s systems have received updates including new HVAC and water heater systems, bathroom renovations, and comprehensive electrical work, all completed under permits filed in December 2022.

The property has an approved plan for potential future development, proposing the construction of five residential units above ground-floor retail, though this remains in planning status. Historical records show the building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues, including multiple security-related violations in 2001 regarding doors and gates, all of which were promptly abated within weeks. Recent maintenance calls (2024) have primarily concerned exterior issues such as graffiti (multiple instances), tree damage, and debris cleanup, though these are typical for urban properties and have been generally resolved. The restaurant's recent renovations included installation of new safety features and compliance upgrades, suggesting current ownership is actively maintaining and upgrading the property, with no significant health or safety violations on record in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1769 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
60thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 319 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
