Rent & eviction protection

Is 1415-1417 12Th 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 1947

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 1947
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 two-unit residential building at 1415 12th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Eagen Schneirow Living Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced some notable maintenance challenges since its construction in 1947. Most recently, in September 2023, substantial updates were completed in the top unit (1417) including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel with new finishes, fixtures, and appliances, along with associated plumbing and electrical work. This project involved the installation of a new 200-amp electrical service upgrade, which is currently pending completion in January 2024. The building had experienced some serious issues prior to these improvements, including a significant water damage incident in 2019 that required repairs to the rear wall affecting the top two floors, including window and siding replacement. Historical maintenance records show consistent upkeep, with window replacements in 2014, bathroom and lighting updates in 2011, and various plumbing improvements.

The property has experienced several concerning events that merit attention, including a sewage backup incident in 2015, and reports of rodent/insect infestation and hoarding concerns in 2021 and 2022 respectively, both of which were transferred to the Department of Public Health's Environmental Health division. While the majority of recent issues have been promptly resolved, as evidenced by the completion status of most recent permits and repairs, the building's history shows a pattern of addressing both routine maintenance and significant system upgrades over the years. Parking enforcement has been required on multiple occasions in recent months, with two driveway blocking incidents recorded in October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1415-1417 12Th 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
97thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 45 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
