Rent & eviction protection

Is 1010 Anza 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 1972

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.

Annual rent increase cap

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 13-unit apartment building at 1010 Anza Street, owned by Raymond C & Irene C Low Rev, is a 3-story multi-family residential structure built in 1972 in the Inner Richmond neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing current problems being repeated elevator malfunctions and multiple hot water outages in January 2024, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges. While the building underwent a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (completed at a cost of $80,000) and is currently in the process of upgrading its fire alarm system (as evidenced by a May 2024 permit for comprehensive fire safety improvements costing $44,357), there have been recurring fire safety concerns documented through fire complaints and violations. These include a recently issued violation for alarm system maintenance from April 2024, as well as historical issues with fire escape maintenance, extinguishers, and emergency lighting that have generally been resolved through corrective actions.

The building's recent history shows an emerging pattern of mechanical and infrastructure concerns, particularly regarding the elevator system, which has been the subject of multiple complaints in 2025. Additionally, there were significant building-wide hot water supply issues reported in early 2024, during which tenants experienced multiple outages over several weeks. The property has also had its share of violations and complaints related to building maintenance and safety systems, though many of these have been addressed through proper channels. Historical contexts show that the building has required attention to various systems including its fire alarm, fire escape, and elevator systems, with the most recent fire system upgrade indicating an investment in addressing past deficiencies. The property achieved completion of its soft-story retrofit requirements, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety regulations, though it remains on record as a Tier 3 property which is noteworthy for prospective tenants.

Risk rating

How 1010 Anza 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
0thpercentile

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