Rent & eviction protection

Is 1247-1249 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.

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 1905
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 1247-1249 46th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood has undergone significant improvements and modifications since its construction in 1905. Most notably, a new ADU was added in 2023-2024, creating 798 square feet of living space with kitchen, living room, two bathrooms, and two bedrooms on the ground floor. The property has seen substantial safety upgrades, including a comprehensive fire sprinkler system installation in 2024 and a major volcanic seismic retrofit in 2019 that involved replacing the foundation under the existing crawl space. Recent maintenance work includes a completed reroofing project in 2023 and electrical system upgrades, including a 200-amp service upgrade in 2020.

The building's infrastructure has been continuously updated, with the installation of new plumbing systems for the ADU and fire sprinkler system, including furnace relocation and gas line improvements. Historical records show attention to fire safety, structural integrity, and modern amenities, with all major systems receiving appropriate upgrades. While there have been some infrastructure-related issues affecting the property, such as tree root damage to the sewer system reported in 2024, these are being addressed through proper channels. The building has experienced minimal complaints or violations, with only one historical complaint in 2012 regarding unpermitted construction work that was quickly abated. The property's recent maintenance history suggests active management and compliance with current building codes and regulations.

Risk rating

How 1247-1249 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
98thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 13 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building age

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