Rent & eviction protection

Is 1369 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1965
2 or more units

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 1965
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 two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1369 9th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, built in 1965 and currently owned by 9th Avenue LLC, has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues that prospective tenants should be aware of. The building has undergone several significant repairs over the past two decades, including multiple siding and roofing projects (most recently in 2010 with dry rot repairs costing $10,000), window replacements in 2002, and a sewer emergency in 2003 involving raw sewage backup that was promptly addressed within one day. The property has experienced two routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2010 that revealed multiple violations requiring correction, including fire escape obstructions, security issues, and plumbing concerns, though all were subsequently abated. A more recent complaint from 2019 indicated potential unauthorized modifications involving an office trailer in the rear yard, which was marked as "Not Active" in the system.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of major systems, including reroofing projects completed in 1991 and 2004, though the structure has required significant structural repairs in the past. A series of 311 calls from 2022-2024 related to the property primarily involve exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti removal and sidewalk cleaning, as well as parking enforcement matters, suggesting ongoing challenges with the building's public-facing areas. The most recent documented building-related incidents (October 2023) have been minor in nature, involving street cleaning and parking issues, though there is an open landscaping maintenance issue logged with Urban Forestry in June 2024. While the building has a documented history of addressing violations and completing necessary repairs, prospective tenants should note the pattern of maintenance issues and the age of the structure, which has required significant repairs to both exterior elements and internal systems over its history.

Risk rating

How 1369 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
36thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 956 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
