Rent & eviction protection

Is 1325 41St 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 1975

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 1975
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 property at 1325 41st Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1975, currently owned by the Ilya & Jane Shayn Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the past decades. Most notably, in 2012, a violation was filed regarding the unauthorized installation of a fire escape and the existence of an illegal third unit, which led to abatement proceedings. This situation was ultimately resolved in 2013 through permitted modifications that included removing the unauthorized fire escape, installing a spiral staircase, and addressing related electrical and plumbing concerns, with these improvements costing approximately $10,000.

Recent history has shown some ongoing maintenance and regulatory activity, including multiple parking enforcement issues (six citations for sidewalk parking between 2022-2024) and two open sewer-related complaints from February 2022. In 2023, there was a request for housing fee and inventory information from the Rent Board, indicating ongoing regulatory oversight of the property's rental status. The building's past also includes a 1988 permit for legalizing a family room and a 1997 reroofing project. Two fire safety-related complaints regarding blocked exits were filed in July 2012, though these were determined to have "No Merit" upon investigation. The most recent building-related activity was a Health Referral for a Cottage Food Operation in 2022, which was approved and closed.

Risk rating

How 1325 41St 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
73rdpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 171 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
