Rent & eviction protection

Is 1269-1271 2Nd 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 1913
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1913
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 two-unit residential building, located at 1269-1271 2nd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1913 and owned by the Gary Roy Westermark Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major renovation being a comprehensive bathroom remodel in 2022 that included electrical upgrades to replace knob and tube wiring in multiple rooms (bedrooms, living room, formal dining room, and hallways). The building has received substantial structural attention, particularly between 2010-2012, when multiple foundation and seismic strengthening projects were completed, including the installation of plywood bracing, framing hardware, and foundation upgrades totaling over $12,000 in work. Other notable improvements include a complete reroofing in 2008 ($28,245), kitchen remodeling in 2007, and various plumbing upgrades, including sewer line repair (2021) and gas line installations (2021).

The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly focusing on safety and efficiency upgrades. Recent 311 calls indicate some ongoing issues, including a sidewalk defect reported in October 2024, though this appears to be an external infrastructure matter rather than a building-specific concern. The building has experienced minimal urgent maintenance issues, with only one recorded sewage-related incident in November 2020, which was promptly resolved. The property has undergone significant electrical system modernization, with multiple permits for wiring updates and circuit improvements, particularly in 2021-2022. Historical records show attention to both interior improvements and exterior maintenance, with periodic tree maintenance noted in 2017-2018, though this was managed through city services rather than building-specific intervention.

Risk rating

How 1269-1271 2Nd 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
88thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 179 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
