Rent & eviction protection

Is 1037-1041 Stanyan 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 1908
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1908
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 3-unit multi-family residential building at 1037-1041 Stanyan Street, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood and owned by the Gumbel Family Revocable Trust, dates back to 1908 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex building with three stories. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair works in recent years, with particular attention to addressing dry rot issues. Most recently, in August 2023, repairs were completed on the exterior staircase and landings, and in May 2023, substantial work was performed on the rear porch area including checks for dry rot, replacement of ceiling and walls, and installation of new insulation, sheetrock, flooring, and paint. The building's electrical systems received considerable upgrades in 2023, including the replacement of three fuse sub-panels and the installation of dedicated circuits for laundry facilities and bathroom/hallway outlets.

Historical maintenance records show recurring attention to stair repairs, with similar work completed in 2015, and prior violations related to stair maintenance were resolved by January 2007. The building has been subject to regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2002, 2006, 2009, and 2018, with all violations being addressed and marked as not active. The property underwent various improvements over the years, including re-roofing in 2021 and window replacements in 2014, where fifteen wooden sash windows were replaced on the front facade and thirteen vinyl double-pane windows were installed on the rear. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned exterior issues such as graffiti, illegal postings, and sidewalk maintenance, though these are generally related to building surroundings rather than the structure itself. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to structural integrity and safety systems, particularly in recent years, with no active violations or complaints currently on record.

Risk rating

How 1037-1041 Stanyan 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
79thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 110 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
