Rent & eviction protection

Is 1359-1361 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.

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 1359-1361 7th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story residential building known as a Flats & Duplex, constructed in 1911 and currently owned by Barbara J Stoops. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past two decades, most notably in 2008 when rotted siding and framing were repaired and four energy-efficient windows were installed on the back porch. Other major improvements include a complete reroofing project in 1999, roof sheathing replacement and ceiling plaster work in 2004, and the replacement of the rear stairs in 2007 to ensure compliance with safety regulations as a second means of egress. The building's exterior infrastructure has been maintained, with street space and sidewalk repairs permitted in 2008 and 2010.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved street and sidewalk maintenance, with multiple general cleaning requests between 2018 and 2024, including the removal of loose garbage and debris. The most recent incidents include the removal of an abandoned Christmas tree and garbage on the street in early 2024, and a parking violation in October 2023. While there have been some exterior maintenance issues noted through 311 calls, including illegal postings and graffiti in 2015, these were addressed promptly by the relevant authorities. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to structural and safety requirements, with no recent major repairs or safety concerns documented in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1359-1361 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
63rdpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 552 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
