Rent & eviction protection

Is 1301-1317 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 1923

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.

Built 1923
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 1301-1317 17th Avenue property in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a 3-story mixed-use building constructed in 1923, containing 10 residential units plus commercial space, currently owned by Irving Street LLC. Recent activity at the property has primarily focused on commercial space modifications, including a 2018 project to split one retail space into two, which involved non-load bearing wall additions, new restroom facilities, and various electrical upgrades including emergency lighting and water heating equipment. The building has undergone several accessibility improvements in recent years, most notably in 2016 when barrier removal work was completed to upgrade ground floor restrooms to meet current accessibility requirements.

The property has maintained compliance with safety requirements, demonstrated by regular updates to fire safety systems, including the installation of smoke detectors in 2019 and the completion of multiple electrical and plumbing upgrades between 2016-2018. A notable planning issue was documented in December 2021 regarding the unauthorized operation of Woodside International School, which was subsequently closed and abated. Recent complaints filed in June 2023 regarding the property's commercial spaces are listed as not active, and there have been no significant building violations affecting resident safety or habitability. The property has faced recurring issues with sidewalk garbage and debris, with multiple reports from January 2025 showing resolved cases of overflowing city garbage cans. While these environmental concerns are not directly related to building maintenance, they may affect the immediate surroundings of the property.

Risk rating

How 1301-1317 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
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.
