Rent & eviction protection

Is 744 47Th Ave 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 1913
2 or more units

Property type

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 1913
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 two-unit residential building at 744 47th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Taj-eldin Family Trust, was constructed in 1913 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Most recently, in September 2023, the property underwent repairs including replacement of wood shingles on the front facade and repairs to T-1-11 siding on the rear wall, with a cost of $25,000. The building has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues and safety violations, with multiple housing code violations recorded in 2018-2019 including the need for wood post and header repairs (due to dry rot), rodent infestation, interior surface painting requirements, and a requirement to eliminate water damage sources. There have also been recurring issues with illegal unit configurations, particularly noted in 2019, and safety concerns including a notable complaint in early 2019 regarding hazardous smoke levels from a fireplace affecting adjacent units. More recent complaints include a portable toilet safety concern in October 2023 and a water leak issue reported in April 2024. The property has undergone several substantial improvements over the years, including significant renovations in 2009 that included bathroom updates, electrical work, and basement remodeling with the installation of new fixtures. Historical records also show past issues with gas leaks and electrical safety concerns from 2008-2010, which were eventually resolved. A recent inspection permit from September 2023 suggests ongoing maintenance and repair work is being addressed, though the pattern of recurring maintenance issues and violations raises some concerns about the building's overall upkeep history.

Risk rating

How 744 47Th Ave'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
58thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 437 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
