Rent & eviction protection

Is 1289 22Nd 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 1965
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 1965
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

This three-story, nine-unit multi-family residential building located at 1289 22nd Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1965 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past few years. The most substantial project was a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2017, which addressed seismic safety concerns and cost approximately $95,000. In 2018, the building underwent fire safety improvements including the installation of a new fire alarm system with control panel, smoke detectors, and pull stations ($12,000), along with an upgrade of the sprinkler system with new heads and backflow preventer equipment ($23,000). The building has experienced recurring fire system issues, with violations and complaints regarding the alarm system noted in 2020, 2022, and 2023, though most recent violations have been marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Abated."

The property has received regular maintenance updates, including the replacement of windows and sliding doors with energy-efficient fiberglass frames in 2018 ($23,000). Historical records show earlier maintenance issues were addressed, such as dry rot repairs in 1986 and reroofing in 1996. Several building violations from 2002 and 2009 regarding fire escape maintenance, egress obstructions, and security systems were all eventually abated. An important accessibility concern was raised in 2016 regarding an uninspected elevator system and non-functioning buzzer system, though these issues appear to have been addressed based on subsequent permits and corrections. More recently, the building has experienced some exterior maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding graffiti and sidewalk debris, though these are primarily related to the building's surroundings rather than the structure itself.

Risk rating

How 1289 22Nd 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
1stpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 806 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.
