Rent & eviction protection

Is 4101 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 1947
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.

Built 1947
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 4101 Anza Street property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by the Yee Family Trust. Built in 1947, this building has experienced several significant events throughout its history, with particular attention needed for recent fire safety concerns. Notably, the property has received multiple fire code violations between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent violations issued in October 2024 related to emergency lighting, alarm system maintenance, and emergency evacuation plans. The building experienced a fire incident in 2001 that required substantial repairs ($50,000) including drywall replacement and siding work. Recent infrastructure maintenance includes a reroofing project completed in 2002 ($5,900). The property has generated numerous 311 calls in recent months, particularly in late 2024, with reported issues including sewage back-up discharge, street cleaning concerns, and parking violations. The building appears to have had recurring issues with its fire safety systems, as evidenced by multiple violation notices for alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and emergency lighting between 2019 and 2024, though some instances were resolved or found to have no merit. A recent pattern of street cleaning issues in late 2024, including reports of human waste and debris, suggests ongoing challenges with the immediate vicinity's sanitation conditions, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 4101 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
32ndpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 707 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
