Rent & eviction protection

Is 1642-1644 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.

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

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 property at 1642-1644 Judah Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1938 and currently owned by Saleh Johan G. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history, with the most notable being a dry rot problem on the front facade in 2005 that led to multiple code violations and an abatement process, which finally reached resolution in December 2011 after some delays and expired permits. The owner completed necessary repairs and re-stuccoing work in 2011 that were originally permitted in 2005 for an estimated cost of $3,000.

Other maintenance history includes two roofing projects - one completed in 1988 and another in 2005 costing approximately $7,880. More recent building issues have been relatively minimal, with the most recent building permit from 2018 related to street space modifications costing just $1. The property has experienced some typical urban issues as documented through 311 calls, including a sewage backup in May 2021 and several instances of illegal postings and graffiti between 2016 and 2023, though these are not unusual for the neighborhood. A street light issue was resolved in 2016, and there was a graffiti incident on a transit shelter platform in 2017, all of which were handled through normal city services. The building's most recent significant planning action was a closed variance request regarding lot areas, lot coverage, and rear yard requirements, though no specific developer information was provided.

Risk rating

How 1642-1644 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
21stpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 643 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
