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 1437 47Th 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.

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
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

1437 47th Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Yevgeny Lapchuk. Built in 1975, the property has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring between 2016-2018. This included comprehensive remodeling projects of bathrooms and kitchens in 2016 (valued at $41,160), followed by more extensive ground floor renovations in 2017-2018 that involved bathroom updates, bedroom modifications, and laundry area improvements (totaling $20,000). During this period, the building received numerous modern upgrades, including the installation of high-efficiency lighting, exhaust fans, new electrical fixtures, and GFCI outlets in the laundry area.

The property has a few notable historical issues, including a 2013 complaint regarding unauthorized remodeling work on the second floor kitchen and two bathrooms, which was promptly addressed within weeks. There have been some plumbing system challenges recorded in 2009, including a sewage backup incident, though these were resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including roofing work completed in 2002, and more recently, the replacement of a wall heater in 2018. A short-term rental violation was recorded in 2018, when neighborhood concerns were raised about unauthorized short-term rentals conducted by the Lapchuk family, though this issue appears to have been resolved with instructions to cease rental activity. The property's recent renovation history suggests active maintenance and upgrading of living spaces, though prospective tenants should note the building's past issues with unauthorized renovations and plumbing systems.

Risk rating

How 1437 47Th 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
27thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 461 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
