Rent & eviction protection

Is 1378 Funston 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 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1378 Funston Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is owned by the Gee May S Revocable Trust and was constructed in 1953. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major works including window replacements (2012 - $15,300), vinyl siding installation (2011 - $20,000), and reroofing (2010 - $5,760). Historical records show that the building was brought into code compliance in both 1984 and 1988, indicating previous structural or safety deficiencies that were addressed at those times.

The building experienced notable maintenance and safety issues in late 2020 through 2022, with a series of violations and complaints being recorded. In December 2020, multiple violations were documented, including issues with smoke detector compliance, dryer vent installation, fire extinguisher maintenance, plumbing repairs, and interior surfaces. These violations were officially abated by April 2021. A concerning complaint from December 2020 highlighted problems with black mold in the kitchen and bathroom, inadequate stairwell lighting, and plumbing issues affecting a tenant's shower. More recently, in August 2022, there were reports of heating issues in unit #1, where a gas wall heater reportedly stopped working, though this issue was resolved by August 31, 2022. Two earlier routine inspections were conducted in 2000 and 2002, and the most recent building-related maintenance issues involved plumbing repairs and electrical system updates that were documented and resolved. Outside the building itself, there have been several municipal service requests regarding the sidewalk, including a lifted sidewalk in 2019 and a missing sewer vent cover in 2016, both of which were addressed by the Department of Public Works. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly in the early 2020s, most documented violations have been resolved in a timely manner, with no active violations on record as of 2023.

Risk rating

How 1378 Funston 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1448 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
