Rent & eviction protection

Is 1409 Shrader 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
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1409 Shrader Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood was constructed in 1906 and is currently owned by Ali & Fatemah Khostovan. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (with a cost of $15,000), bringing it into compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building has seen substantial unit improvements, including a comprehensive renovation of Unit #5 in 2013 (involving bathroom, kitchen, electrical, and plumbing upgrades), and several other unit-specific renovations and repairs across different years. A notable concern arose in early 2020 with complaints about unpermitted construction work in the garage area, involving framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work, though these complaints are now listed as not active.

The building has experienced various maintenance issues that required attention over the years, including violations related to heating system requirements, water heater problems, and electrical issues. Multiple units have undergone improvements, including window replacements, bathroom renovations, and kitchen upgrades. The property was involved in a "Routine" inspection in 2011, and several permits were filed to address violations, including work completed in response to historical lead paint concerns. The building's infrastructure has been maintained generally well, with major systems receiving attention as needed, though there have been periodic issues with common area access and appliance functionality. Parking-related complaints have been recorded outside the direct residential concerns, and the building's soft-story retrofit has been successfully completed, demonstrating compliance with current building safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 1409 Shrader 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
