Rent & eviction protection

Is 1337-1339 8Th 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 1912

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 1912
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 1337-1339 8th Avenue is a three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1912 and currently owned by Sarah A. Maloney, this flats and duplex-style building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its recent history. Most notably, in 2010, the building underwent a routine housing inspection that revealed multiple fire and building code violations, including the need for handrails, roof deck repairs, fire extinguisher installation, and the removal of combustible storage or installation of automatic fire sprinklers. These violations were all resolved by May 2010. The building has also maintained its infrastructure through various improvements, including a sewer line repair in 2015 and water heater installation in 2009, though an earlier reroofing permit from 1996 shows as expired.

More recent concerns have emerged regarding the building's sewer infrastructure, with four documented sewage backup incidents between January and July 2025, involving discharge from various locations including side sewer vents, catch basins, and other locations. The property has generated multiple parking enforcement calls between 2021 and 2022, primarily related to vehicles blocking driveways and parking on the sidewalk, with several citations being issued. A single fire-related complaint regarding blocked exits was reported in August 2015 but appears to have been resolved within two weeks. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure issues, though the recent pattern of sewage-related incidents suggests ongoing plumbing system challenges that have persisted into 2025.

Risk rating

How 1337-1339 8Th 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
41stpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 881 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

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