Rent & eviction protection

Is 1450 10Th 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
2 or more units

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 1450 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Lee May Trust The, is a two-story duplex constructed in 1947. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, with comprehensive renovations completed in early 2023 including kitchen and bathroom updates on the upper level, electrical system upgrades, and plumbing work totaling approximately $60,000. The electrical upgrades were particularly extensive, involving the installation of new lighting fixtures (including 14 recessed lights and ceiling lights) and replacement of numerous electrical components (26 receptacles and 6 switches). Prior to this, in October 2022, the building underwent a major electrical service upgrade, increasing the power capacity from 80 to 200 amps and installing separate meters for both units (1450 and 1452).

The building's history includes three parking-related incidents between 2011 and 2018, all involving vehicles blocking driveways, though these cases were ultimately closed as invalid due to insufficient reporting information. There were also two fire department responses to the address, classified as an invalid assist and a person in distress situation, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The property's recent electrical and plumbing upgrades suggest significant investment in infrastructure improvement, though no other maintenance or incident patterns are evident from the available records.

Risk rating

How 1450 10Th 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
96thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 60 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
