Rent & eviction protection

Is 1401-1403 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 before 1979
Built 1945

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 1945
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 1401-1403 43rd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1945, currently owned by Fanny Ching Owyoung Survivo. The building has a documented history of stairway maintenance issues, with repairs carried out in 2004 and again in 2021, including replacement of pressure-treated treads in the rear exterior stairway. Most concerning is a building complaint filed in July 2021 regarding mold issues in the lower unit, specifically black mold that allegedly persisted despite testing and recommendations for removal, though this complaint is listed as "Not Active" in the system. The building's history also shows attention to basic infrastructure maintenance, including reroofing work completed in 2001 at a cost of $8,000.

More recently, the property has experienced multiple garbage and debris-related incidents in January 2025, with at least eight reports of overflowing city garbage cans and other debris issues, though these are primarily related to street conditions rather than the building itself. The only recorded fire incident was related to electrical equipment in the vicinity of the address, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of critical elements like stairs and roofing, but the documented mold issue from 2021 stands out as the most significant resident health concern in the available records.

Risk rating

How 1401-1403 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
45thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 348 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
