Rent & eviction protection

Is 1044 Judah St 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 1925
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 1925
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 1044 Judah St in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Red Pier Judah LLC, has undergone significant recent improvements and safety upgrades. The property, built in 1925, completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2020 and added four new accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to replace parking garages, demonstrating substantial modernization efforts. Major safety improvements include a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2024, installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2023, and ongoing reroofing work scheduled for late 2024. The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, most notably a hot water outage in March 2024 affecting all units, though this was resolved within a week. Historical records show the building had several safety concerns in the early 2000s, including issues with structural pillars, fire escape maintenance, and combustible storage in the garage, all of which were addressed and abated. Recent inspections and permits indicate regular maintenance and upgrading of building systems, including plumbing, electrical, and safety features, with the most recent work focusing on infrastructure improvements throughout the building.

Risk rating

How 1044 Judah St'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
9thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1359 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location
