Rent & eviction protection

Is 1442-1444 Funston 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 property at 1442-1444 Funston Avenue is a 3-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, built in 1947 and currently owned by the Terry Family Revocable Trust 2017. In 2017, the building underwent significant renovations costing $500,000, which included reconfiguring unit 1442 into a 2-bedroom, 3-bath layout and unit 1444 into a larger 4-bedroom, 3-bath configuration, along with expanding the lower unit into ground floor storage space and adding a new rear deck. The renovation work also encompassed comprehensive upgrades including new plumbing throughout (two kitchens, 5.5 baths), electrical systems, and heating elements, including the installation of condensing boilers and radiant heating systems in late 2018. The project received proper permits and inspections, though some permits for new furnaces were canceled.

Prior to the renovation, both units were vacated through a tenant buyout process in April 2017, with compensation of $42,000 provided to two tenants. The building has had regular maintenance issues, including illegal postings and graffiti incidents reported through 311 calls in 2016 and 2018, though these appear to be minor neighborhood issues rather than building-specific concerns. Historical records show earlier building maintenance work from 2006 included reroofing, and more recent street space permits were issued in 2018-2019. The property underwent substantial infrastructure modernization during the 2017-2018 renovation period, including a complete electrical system upgrade to 200 amps, installation of two 50-gallon water heaters, and comprehensive plumbing system updates. The renovation work was methodically documented through various permits and planning records, with particular attention paid to maintaining existing building envelope requirements and minimizing exterior modifications.

Risk rating

How 1442-1444 Funston 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
72ndpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 418 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
