Rent & eviction protection

Is 1201-1207 46Th 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 1911

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 1911
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 property at 1201-1207 46th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1911 and currently owned by James William Mustanich Jr. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past decade. Most notably, there are eight active building violations from March 2010 related to water damage, mold/mildew, lead paint concerns, and stair safety issues, though some of these appear to have been addressed through subsequent repairs and renovations. In 2021, the rear stairs were partially repaired with new support posts and floor joists, and the building underwent plumbing improvements with a new sewer lateral installation. A complaint regarding unpermitted roof work was filed in August 2023 but was quickly resolved the following day.

The property has a documented history of water-related issues, including mold problems that triggered multiple complaints in 2010, plumbing repairs, and a significant sewer-related complaint from 1996. Several renovation projects were completed in 2010 to address various problems, including bathroom and kitchen improvements, lead paint concerns, and mold remediation. Unit 1203 received specific electrical and sheetrock upgrades in 2008. More recently, between late 2023 and early 2024, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues, including furniture, though these relate to street cleaning rather than building conditions. While some past issues suggest historical maintenance challenges, most recent permits (2021) indicate regular upkeep, albeit with some recurring maintenance patterns. The building's history shows a mix of proactive repairs and occasional reactive responses to violations, with most housing-related complaints being resolved through proper permits and remediation work.

Risk rating

How 1201-1207 46Th 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
24thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 480 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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