Rent & eviction protection

Is 1200 15Th 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 1927

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.

Just-cause eviction

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

Located in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, 1200 15th Avenue is a 3-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently managed by Coral Manor Prpts LLC. The property has a significant recent focus on fire safety improvements, with an ongoing comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in progress as of August 2024, including the installation of low frequency sounders, new smoke detectors, pull stations, and horn/strobe units in common areas. There is also an active open violation from December 2023 related to sleeping area requirements that needs to be addressed. The building has had a history of fire safety concerns, including multiple fire complaints and violations between 2016 and 2024 regarding blocked exits, sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and exit maintenance, though most of these issues were corrected upon inspection.

The property has undergone several major infrastructure upgrades over the years, including a complete electrical service upgrade in 2003, replacement of steam boiler and water tank in 2009, and installation of emergency and exit lights in 2010. Historical maintenance issues have been documented through various tenant complaints, including reports of inadequate heat in 1997, visible damage and maintenance concerns in 2001, and routine inspection concerns in 2000-2002 that were subsequently abated. Recent tenant concerns have included a 2019 complaint about construction site facilities and several 2024 311 calls related to parking, sidewalk access, and street maintenance near the property. The owners have been actively addressing safety requirements, as evidenced by the recent fire alarm system upgrade and previous compliance with other safety-related matters, though some historical violations and complaints indicate past challenges with maintaining building systems and addressing tenant concerns in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 1200 15Th 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
4thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1433 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.
