Outer Sunset, SF 94122 1703003 4 units · 2 fl · 1959

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1219 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 1959
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 1959
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-story multi-family residential building at 1219 47th Avenue in the Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Red Pier 47th Ave LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related events since its construction in 1959. Most recently, in 2023-2024, the building underwent substantial electrical system upgrades, including the replacement of main circuit breaker disconnects for all four units, installation of new sub-panels, and various electrical improvements, demonstrating proactive maintenance of critical systems. The property has had several kitchen and bathroom updates, with the most recent occurring in 2020 on the second floor, along with plumbing improvements including shower valve replacements and laundry repairs.

Historical records show some concerning incidents between 2001-2011, including a carbon monoxide leak in 2008, mold issues, and multiple violations related to fire safety equipment and lead paint hazards on exterior walls. These issues appear to have been properly addressed and resolved. There were also complaints about unauthorized construction work in 2017 and exterior paint deterioration. The building has maintained active enforcement against parking violations, with numerous citations issued for blocked driveways between 2020-2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management. Additionally, a recent submission concerning the property's driveway width indicates it exceeds the standard 10-foot maximum, measuring 17-18 feet according to Google Earth measurements, though this appears to be an administrative matter rather than a building safety concern.

Risk rating

How 1219 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
19thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 512 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
