Rent & eviction protection

Is 1234-1236 7Th 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 1923

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 1923
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 1234-1236 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building built in 1923, currently owned by Chun Andrew C S& Miyu F. The building has undergone significant renovation work over the past two years, with major improvements focused on modernization and safety upgrades. Most notably, in late 2022, substantial remodeling work was initiated on the first floor to convert unconditioned areas into conditioned space, adding two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a family room, wet bar, and laundry facilities, along with utility relocations. The project has continued through 2023 with additional bathroom relocations, kitchen and wet bar remodels, full rewiring with a new 200-amp sub panel installation, and the installation of a fire sprinkler system per NFPA 13R standards, with building permits totaling approximately $469,000.

The property has experienced some challenges during the renovation process, including a building complaint filed in May 2023 regarding unpermitted work, though this complaint was promptly abated within three days. There have been several municipal service calls in 2024 related to the property, including reports of graffiti (both resolved), general cleaning issues, and a noise complaint. Tree maintenance notifications were received in October 2023, though this appears to be under city jurisdiction through the StreetTreeSF program. Historical records from the 1980s show previous improvements to the property, including code compliance updates, termite repair, and social room remodels, indicating ongoing attention to building maintenance over the decades.

Risk rating

How 1234-1236 7Th 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.
