Rent & eviction protection

Is 1343-1345 43Rd 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 1924

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 1924
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-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1343-1345 43rd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, was constructed in 1924 and is currently owned by Deborah A Cohen. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent work completed in 2023 involving window replacements and siding repairs targeting dry rot issues on the north and east elevations. This followed a similar major siding maintenance project completed in 2022 on the south and west elevations, which also addressed dry rot concerns. Other substantial improvements include a complete re-roofing project in 2015 and electrical system upgrades in 2004 that included installing an enlarged panel box with arc fault protection and upgrading electrical service.

The building had some past violations in 2000 related to expired permits for sheetrock and carpentry work, as well as modifications to support a bay window, but these were resolved by 2006. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations and sidewalk access, with multiple citations for driveway blocking and sidewalk parking documented between 2021 and 2023. There have also been several reports of garbage and debris on the property and adjacent areas, though these are typically resolved promptly. More recent concerns include an open case from July 2023 regarding diverters at the sidewalk. The building's maintenance history demonstrates regular upkeep and prompt attention to structural issues, particularly concerning water damage and exterior maintenance, as evidenced by the substantial investments in siding repairs and window replacements totaling over $160,000 in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1343-1345 43Rd 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
98thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 13 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building age
