Rent & eviction protection

Is 1322 17Th 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 1953
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 1953
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

Situated in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, 1322 17th Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1953 and currently owned by the Gee Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past six years, including a kitchen renovation in Unit 3 (2019) and an electrical upgrade in Unit 4 that replaced the fuse panel with circuit breakers (2017). More concerning was a 2019 incident involving a malfunctioning shower with no hot water, non-compliant flooring, and a dryer lint hazard, which was resolved within weeks. The building has maintained a regular inspection schedule, with the most recent routine housing inspection occurring in October 2019, addressing multiple safety concerns including fire escape functionality, smoke enclosure issues, and various maintenance requirements, all of which were subsequently resolved.

The property's maintenance history shows some attention to building systems, including a furnace replacement permit from March 2019, though this permit has since expired. Earlier violations from 2000 were addressed promptly, including installation of smoke detectors and fire safety improvements. The building's recent history (2022-2024) has primarily involved external issues such as parking violations and street cleaning matters, with several documented cases of driveway blocking leading to citations. The property management has generally responded to compliance requirements, as evidenced by the resolution of multiple fire safety and maintenance issues identified during routine inspections.

Risk rating

How 1322 17Th 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
6thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1403 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
