Rent & eviction protection

Is 40 Shrader 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 1926

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 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 40 Shrader Street, constructed in 1926, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple maintenance challenges over its history. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017-2023, achieving Tier 3 status with all required work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion issued. The building has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2021, electrical outlet and circuit installations in 2023, boiler replacement in 2018, and new water service installation in 2018. Historical maintenance issues included concerns with a retaining wall, which required repairs in 2008 and again in 2016 (completed at a cost of $36,000), and various fire safety violations in 2004 that were promptly addressed within two months.

The building's recent history from 2024 to present shows primarily external maintenance issues, including multiple graffiti incidents on the building and surrounding areas, all of which have been closed and resolved. A significant past issue involved loose brick facade concerns in 1995, with reports of falling bricks posing safety risks. The property has maintained compliance with major safety regulations, having addressed all identified violations and completed necessary retrofits, though there were historical fire safety concerns in 2004 related to fire escapes, smoke detectors, and fire extinguisher maintenance which have since been resolved. The building's recent maintenance record indicates active management, with prompt responses to infrastructure needs and timely completion of required safety upgrades.

Risk rating

How 40 Shrader 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
26thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 590 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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