Rent & eviction protection

Is 1915-1917 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 1924

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.

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-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1915-1917 Fulton Street, owned by Lee Khoon Y & Doris S Revoc, was constructed in 1924 in Park North. The building has undergone several significant electrical upgrades between 2006-2007, including three separate 200-amp service improvements, with the most recent one being completed in March 2007. A reroofing project was attempted in 1991, but records indicate that permit expired without confirmation of completion.

The property has experienced multiple housing and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging from an active complaint filed in November 2021 that documented numerous violations including lack of heat, visible interior damage, security concerns, and building maintenance issues. Most recently, in July 2024, a ceiling issue with cracks was reported and remains unresolved. Historical records show a brief period of violations in 2001 related to fire safety, specifically concerning egress obstruction and rubbish removal, though these were promptly abated within a few weeks. The building's safety systems, such as smoke detectors, appear to have required attention based on the 2021 violation status.

Risk rating

How 1915-1917 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
46thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 430 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
