Rent & eviction protection

Is 1907-1911 Oak 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 1907
2 or more units

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 1907
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-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1907-1911 Oak Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood was built in 1907 and is currently owned by Donald Bosbery. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades, with the most notable being a comprehensive soft-story retrofit completed in 2020-2021, which included foundation replacement and moment frame installations, bringing the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements and earning a Certificate of Final Completion. Multiple unit renovations have been executed between 2012 and 2016, including top-level improvements with new kitchen and bathroom facilities, comprehensive electrical upgrades, and a complete reroofing, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts. The building previously faced several compliance challenges in 2002-2003, including issues with security features, fire escapes, handrails, and plumbing systems, which were all addressed by December 2016. A historical water leakage problem was documented in 2003.

More recently, the building experienced a failure to comply with soft-story Tier III requirements in 2019, though this was resolved by early 2022. The property's utility systems have been modernized, including an underground service conversion in 2005 and furnace replacement in 2016. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to comply with current building standards, though there have been recurring issues with garbage and debris removal in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024. Recent 311 calls (2024) primarily relate to street-level issues such as parking violations and sidewalk maintenance, which are not directly related to the building's condition or operations. The building's permit history indicates responsible ownership with attention to required safety upgrades, particularly the significant investment in soft-story compliance.

Risk rating

How 1907-1911 Oak 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
