Rent & eviction protection

Is 1371 10Th 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 1964
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 1964
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 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1371 10th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by the Klein Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and maintenance projects since its construction in 1964. Most recently, in August 2023, the building completed a mandatory fire alarm system upgrade ($23,536) to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all existing devices. The building previously completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015 (cost: $40,000) to improve structural safety. There have been several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including reroofing in 2011 ($9,000) and window replacements in 2005 ($3,014).

The building has experienced notable safety and compliance issues that were addressed by management and city inspectors. In September 2020, multiple violations were recorded related to fire safety, including problems with fire escapes, smoke detector requirements, and fire proofing materials, though these were abated by October 2020. There was a concerning sequence of complaints in summer 2020 regarding gas dryer connections, garbage bin issues, and fire safety concerns, which also received attention from both Building and Housing Inspection Services. The building successfully completed its soft-story retrofit requirements as a Tier 3 building, and while there have been several fire-related complaints (including blocked exits and alarm systems) across different years, all have been marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Abated." The property has maintained relatively good standing with only minor recent issues noted through 311 calls, primarily related to external matters like sidewalk parking and street cleaning, with the most significant recent building-related concern appearing to be the 2020 gas dryer connection situation which was subsequently addressed.

Risk rating

How 1371 10Th 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
2ndpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1463 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
