Rent & eviction protection

Is 5024-5026 Fulton 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 1941
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 1941
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 5024-5026 Fulton Street, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, has undergone significant improvements and modifications since its construction in 1941. The most substantial recent development was the legal addition of a third unit to the ground floor in 2019, which included extensive fire safety upgrades such as a new sprinkler system (complete with 14 heads and dedicated 2" fire service) and a monitoring communication unit, all installed per NFPA standards at a cost of approximately $15,800. The building has seen comprehensive infrastructure upgrades in 2022, including electrical system improvements with a 400-amp service upgrade, plumbing renovations including new bathroom and kitchen fixtures, and a sewer lateral and house trap replacement in 2016.

The property has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety improvements, including the installation of smoke detectors and various electrical system enhancements, such as replacing the three-meter panel and adding a 100-amp subpanel (2020). Safety-related incidents have been minimal, with only one recorded cooking fire that was confined to its container and resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's surroundings have faced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by several 311 calls regarding sidewalk parking violations, graffiti, and tree maintenance issues between 2018 and 2024, though these are primarily external neighborhood maintenance matters rather than building-specific issues. Recent infrastructure improvements suggest proactive property management, though residents should note an open sidewalk defect case from February 2022.

Risk rating

How 5024-5026 Fulton 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
95thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 112 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building age

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