Rent & eviction protection

Is 1227-1229 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 before 1979
Built 1966
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.

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

United Glory LLC owns this 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located at 1227-1229 Anza Street in the Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1966, the property has undergone several significant improvements, most notably a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 (costing $103,950) to enhance seismic safety, and a recent $42,627 fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The building faced multiple fire safety violations in 2003 that were subsequently resolved within two months, including issues with fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and fire escape maintenance. More recent concerns include a troubling incident in March 2022 involving noxious odors (described as resembling rotten eggs and sulfur) affecting residents' health, though this was reported as a recurring but not constant issue.

The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with a 2022 kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit #6 (costing $25,000) and compliance with various safety inspections. Earlier maintenance includes wall repairs and reroofing work conducted in 2005, and successful resolution of several fire safety complaints between 2006 and 2019 regarding alarm systems, fire extinguishers, and sprinkler systems. While the building has experienced periodic issues with its fire safety systems over the years, recent improvements suggest attention to these concerns. The most recent soft-story retrofit completion indicates compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building's violation history shows successful abatement of all identified issues, with no active violations currently on record.

Risk rating

How 1227-1229 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
5thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1637 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.
