Rent & eviction protection

Is 1212-1214 Funston 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 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.

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 1212 Funston Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1938, currently owned by Karen Praszker. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent months, with major renovation work completed in early 2024 including a kitchen and bathroom remodel on the third floor (though the building is officially classified as two-story) costing approximately $64,315, along with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades. These recent renovations included in-kind replacements of fixtures and systems, with the plumbing work specifically involving a new shower pan installation and the electrical work encompassing new plugs, lights, and switches. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with a reroofing project completed in 2018 at a cost of $9,500, and deck repairs conducted in 1997.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly concerning driveway blocking, with seven documented incidents between 2021 and 2024, resulting in several citations being issued. Recent municipal service calls have addressed various street and sidewalk maintenance matters, including garbage and debris removal. The most recent building improvements suggest active property maintenance, though the frequency of parking violations in the vicinity may indicate ongoing challenges with access to the property. The recent renovation work, performed through properly permitted channels, appears to demonstrate compliance with current building codes and standards, though the mention of dry rot repair in the shower during the 2024 renovations could warrant attention to moisture and maintenance considerations in the updated facilities.

Risk rating

How 1212-1214 Funston 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
95thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 75 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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