Rent & eviction protection

Is 1205-1207 31St 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 1938

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 1938
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 1205-1207 31st Avenue in Central Sunset, constructed in 1938, has experienced significant recent activity, particularly regarding unpermitted modifications. In November 2021, building violations were filed against both units, documenting unauthorized work including kitchen and bathroom renovations, wall removals, and various installations. These violations triggered a complex permitting process, culminating in 2022 permits (PA#202208110302, PA#202207057780) to address the issues, including the legalization of an ADU and various kitchen modifications. The property has also required several infrastructure updates, including a water line replacement in December 2024 and multiple electrical and plumbing compliance measures in 2022.

Two active building violations remain pending, with a director's hearing scheduled for February 2024, related to unpermitted modifications including exterior wall openings, kitchen work, and unauthorized gas installations. The building underwent an illegal ADU conversion process that began in 2022 and was partially rectified through subsequent permits, with an estimated cost of $128,300. Periodic maintenance records show historical work including reroofing in 1989 and recent plumbing repairs. The property's exterior surroundings have experienced various municipal service calls in late 2024, primarily related to graffiti removal, pavement issues, and a fallen tree, though these are not direct building concerns.

Risk rating

How 1205-1207 31St 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
31stpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 562 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
