Rent & eviction protection

Is 45 Ashbury 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.

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 1919
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 building at 45 Ashbury Street in Park North, owned by Norma Mogannam, has undergone several significant events since its construction in 1919. Most notably, in December 2016, there was one tenant buyout recorded for $65,000. A major maintenance improvement occurred in March 2020 with the completion of an $12,800 reroofing project. The building experienced substantial maintenance issues in September 2009, when multiple violations were recorded including problems with the tub/shower repairs, mold/mildew on ceilings, floor covering repairs, and damaged ceilings - all of which were successfully abated by March 2010. A complaint from that same period documented water damage and mold in the master bedroom and closet, along with issues with the heating system and a constantly running toilet.

Recent activity around the property shows ongoing maintenance and parking issues, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations and garbage/debris concerns. Between December 2023 and October 2024, there have been several 311 calls related to parking enforcement and street cleaning, including two instances of vehicles blocking driveways, though in most cases, officers were unable to locate the vehicles. There were also three reports of abandoned furniture and debris on the street or sidewalk between May and July 2024, all of which were resolved. While some graffiti was reported in November 2022, it was addressed by the SES Graffiti Crew.

Risk rating

How 45 Ashbury 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
88thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 96 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
