Outer Sunset, SF 94122 1795001 8 units · 2 fl · 1957

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1301-1311 40Th 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 1957

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 1957
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 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1301-1311 40th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Phylis Kurzbard 1998 Living Trust, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1957. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017 (with subsequent modifications in 2019) and electrical system upgrades including the replacement of nine circuit breaker panels. Historical records show multiple maintenance issues in the 2000s, including security system problems, fire safety concerns, and various repair needs, though these violations were all officially abated.

More recent years indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, with a 2015 complaint about broken entrances and lighting, and a 2011 incident involving vehicle damage to the building and garage door. There were also efforts to add additional housing units, with a proposal in 2019 to create three ADUs in the ground floor area, though this permit was withdrawn. The building has experienced several fire alarm activations since 2009, though all were determined to be false alarms or system malfunctions with no injuries reported. While the building's soft-story retrofit work is now complete, the property has generated numerous 311 calls in 2024 regarding street cleaning and debris issues, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and surrounding areas.

Risk rating

How 1301-1311 40Th 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
20thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 506 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.

Number of units

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

Neighborhood location

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
