Rent & eviction protection

Is 1201-1205 Willard 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 1906
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH3
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1906
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, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1201-1205 Willard Street, owned by Georgette Derdevanis Revoc, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements. From late 2023 to 2024, the property has seen substantial interior upgrades, including a comprehensive second-floor remodel ($100,000) featuring entry, bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry areas, and skylights, followed by electrical rewiring of the entire unit and associated plumbing work, including a shower pan installation and bathroom/kitchen remodels. The building's exterior maintenance continues with window replacements ($20,000) and historical records show previous improvements including a 2007 reroofing and a 1985 sun deck installation.

The property has maintained compliance with safety regulations, though there were multiple violations recorded in 2005 and 2011 related to security and fire safety equipment, including issues with self-closing doors and fire extinguishers. These violations were promptly addressed and abated. While there have been two recent fire-related incidents, both were determined to be non-threatening (one was a smoke detector malfunction and the other a good intent call). The surrounding area has experienced some external maintenance concerns as evidenced by multiple Recology service calls regarding overflowing garbage cans in late 2024, though these are related to city services rather than building operations. Historical routine housing inspections from 1999, 2005, and 2011 have been conducted, with all issues being resolved. The most recent building improvement permits and completed work reflect ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with particular attention to modernizing systems and maintaining historical character through proper window replacements.

Risk rating

How 1201-1205 Willard 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
61stpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 205 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.

Number of units

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

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
