Rent & eviction protection

Is 1164-1166 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 1922

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 1922
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-unit residential building at 1164-1166 Stanyan Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922, currently owned by the Gordon & Kathleen A Woo Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, with the most recent major renovations including the installation of new high-efficiency windows in 2019 (replacing 12 aluminum sliding windows on the front facade and updating rear windows) and the replacement of the furnace and ductwork. Earlier improvements include a complete re-roofing project in 2017 (cost: $25,000), additional roof work in 1990, and garage ductwork and furnace updates in 2013. A concerning incident occurred involving carbon monoxide in the past, though no civilian injuries were reported.

The building has experienced ongoing parking and street-related issues, particularly between 2019 and 2024, with numerous complaints about vehicles blocking driveways. Records show at least eight documented cases of driveway blocking in that period, with citations issued in some instances while others resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 have included reports of garbage and debris issues, though these were resolved. The building's mechanical systems have received consistent attention, with furnace replacements in both 2013 and 2019, demonstrating regular maintenance of critical infrastructure. The property's history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with all recorded permits marked as complete, suggesting proper adherence to building codes and regulations.

Risk rating

How 1164-1166 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
73rdpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 142 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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio
