Rent & eviction protection

Is 1324-1328 Fell 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1904
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-unit residential building at 1324-1328 Fell Street in San Francisco's Park North neighborhood is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904, currently owned by 1324-1328 Fell Street LLC. The property has experienced several notable issues and renovations over its history. Most concerning was a fire incident in 2005 in the bottom flat that raised safety concerns, though it was addressed promptly. The building has faced recurring moisture issues, with multiple complaints about mold in bathrooms and bedrooms reported in 2010 and 2012. Security and safety violations were documented in 2008 and 2010, including issues with fire extinguishers, door security, and weatherproofing, though these were all resolved by March 2010.

The property has undergone various maintenance and improvement projects, including kitchen cabinet replacements and bathroom retiling in 2007, siding weatherproofing repairs in 2008, and a roofing project completed in 2000. Historical records show general demolition and replacement of damaged walls, ceilings, floors, and roof in 1986. More recently, the building has generated several 311 calls in 2023-2024, primarily related to parking issues and sidewalk maintenance, though these are typical of urban environments and don't directly reflect on the building's condition. There are also multiple records related to unauthorized short-term rental activity, suggesting potential regulatory compliance issues, though these are noted as informational and cancelled. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations and performing necessary repairs, though the recurring moisture issues and previous security concerns are noteworthy.

Risk rating

How 1324-1328 Fell 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
47th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 422 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 63.1%
Moderate concern 20.7%
Severe concern 16.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
