Rent & eviction protection

Is 33-35 Cornwall 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

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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.

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 property at 33-35 Cornwall Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1908 and owned by Theodore A & Margery Pacche, this flats & duplex structure has undergone several significant renovations over the past few years. Most notably, in 2018-2019, the building underwent substantial work on its rear structure, including the replacement of sagging beams supporting the rear dining room, deck surface and railing replacement, and staircase repairs. During this period, there was an incident requiring a Notice of Violation (NOV) in June 2018 for work beyond the scope of permitted construction, specifically regarding unauthorized demolition of the rear building structure. This violation was ultimately abated by January 2020. The property has since received proper permit approvals to address rear yard requirements and completed necessary electrical and plumbing installations, including a laundry setup and new water heater in late 2019.

Recent records indicate ongoing parking-related issues near the property, with multiple complaints about illegal parking (including sidewalk blocking and driveway blocking) documented through 311 calls between 2021 and 2024. These parking violations, while not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance, could impact resident access and neighborhood quality of life. The building's historical maintenance record includes a roofing project from 2000, though this permit has since expired. Overall, the most significant recent building activity has been the successful completion and resolution of structural repairs and improvements in 2018-2019, following proper permits and regulations.

Risk rating

How 33-35 Cornwall 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
50thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 862 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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