Rent & eviction protection

Is 1346-1348 Masonic Ave 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 1937

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 two-story, multi-family residential building at 1346 Masonic Avenue in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, owned by the Jeanne Kwong Trust, was constructed in 1937 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent work focused on bathroom remodeling, currently in process as of December 2024, including electrical and plumbing updates with an estimated cost of $11,000. Prior major renovations include reroofing in 2017 ($12,900), horizontal addition in 1989, termite repairs in 1987, and kitchen remodeling in 1990 which involved removing an upper unit wall.

The building's maintenance history reveals some concerning issues, particularly a 1998 complaint about safety hazards including dry rot in the back stairs and security concerns with the garage door and missing deadbolt on a unit door, though these issues were marked as abated. More recently, there have been infrastructure concerns with missing side sewer vent covers reported in 2024 (which have since been resolved) and various 311 calls regarding street maintenance, parking issues, and graffiti on nearby infrastructure throughout 2024. The property has maintained reasonable upkeep standards generally, with periodic addressed maintenance issues, though the recent bathroom remodeling suggests continued investment in property improvements by the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 1346-1348 Masonic Ave'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
79thpercentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 74 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
