Rent & eviction protection

Is 1358-1360 26Th 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 1914

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 1914
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

This two-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located at 1358-1360 26th Ave in the Central Sunset neighborhood was built in 1914 and is currently owned by the Whitmed Family Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements and renovations over the past decade, with the most recent being the installation of heat pump water heaters in August 2024, following a 2023 trend toward energy-efficient appliances. Major renovations were performed between 2015-2019, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements (single pane to double pane), and the addition of a solar power system in 2018 consisting of 18 PV modules. This property previously faced regulatory issues in 2006-2007 when unauthorized construction allegedly created a third unit in the garage, resulting in parking violations and subsequent abatement proceedings, though these issues were resolved with the removal of unauthorized structures and restoration of parking spaces.

The building has maintained an active maintenance and upgrade schedule, with permits showing regular updates to essential systems including plumbing and electrical work. Recent improvements reflect attention to both comfort and sustainability, such as the bathroom remodels, energy-efficient window upgrades, and solar panel installation. Historical records from 2014 indicate there were some concerns about unpermitted work and safety hazards, though these issues appear to have been addressed. The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues in the surrounding area, with multiple citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways or parking inappropriately between 2021-2024, though these are external to the building's operations and indicate neighborhood parking challenges rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1358-1360 26Th 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
84thpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 130 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
