Rent & eviction protection

Is 1295 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 1960
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1960
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 8-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1295 47th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood has undergone significant changes since its 1960 construction, most notably a major 2018-2019 renovation that added four ground-floor ADUs with full amenities, replacing eight former garage spaces. This $230,000 project was followed by extensive unit renovations, including kitchen and bathroom updates in multiple units (1, 7, and 8), electrical upgrades including a 400-amp service upgrade, and comprehensive fire safety improvements including sprinkler system installations, new fire alarm monitoring, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current safety codes.

Recent maintenance issues have emerged, particularly in early 2024, including window problems (improper sealing/insulation and mold), fire escape ladder concerns, and various building code violations related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and structural maintenance. While many of these 2024 violations show a status of "Not Active" with an abatement date of May 2024, there remains ongoing concern about waste management practices at the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls and complaints regarding garbage receptacle management. The building is classified as a Tier 3 soft-story structure, though records indicate that required retrofit work has been completed and a Certificate of Final Completion has been issued.

Risk rating

How 1295 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
0thpercentile

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