Rent & eviction protection

Is 1354-1358 9Th 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.

Built 1910
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 1354-1358 9th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a three-story, multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1910 and containing three units. The building has undergone significant commercial modifications, particularly related to restaurant operations, with major work performed in 2015 including the installation of 14 downdraft BBQ tables, grease exhaust systems, and associated mechanical equipment totaling over $60,000 in permitted work. However, the building experienced a notable fire incident in September 2021 that damaged the mechanical ducting system, requiring subsequent repairs and final inspections in late 2021 costing approximately $9,000.

The property has a history of both permitted and unpermitted modifications, including a recent complaint filed in April 2022 regarding an unpermitted sign installation above a residential unit window sill. The building's mechanical systems have required multiple updates, including a 2018 sewer lateral replacement and various plumbing and electrical improvements related to restaurant operations. Fire safety compliance has been an ongoing concern, with violations noted in 2020 regarding operations without proper permits, though these were ultimately abated in January 2023. Recent maintenance issues have included graffiti removal (2024) and a missing side sewer vent cover (2024). The building's location has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls in 2023-2024. While the restaurant space has undergone significant improvements, the property has faced challenges with mechanical system maintenance, fire safety compliance, and unauthorized modifications, though most recent violations have been addressed through proper permit acquisitions and corrections.

Risk rating

How 1354-1358 9Th 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
10thpercentile
