Rent & eviction protection

Is 1400 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.

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

The property at 1400 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a 10-unit, 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1925, currently owned by the Gee Martial Trust. The building has undergone significant structural improvements in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 with a total investment of $130,000 for both the residential and commercial components. The building has received various updates to improve safety and accessibility, including electrical system upgrades in 2020 with a new 400-amp service installation and the replacement of multiple electrical components, as well as stair repair work in 2020 to address dry rot issues.

The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues that have required attention over the years. In 2004, multiple violations were recorded regarding fire safety, including problems with fire escape accessibility, damaged paint potentially posing lead hazards, and fire sprinkler requirements, all of which were subsequently abated. More recent building maintenance work includes structural improvements such as additional plywood shearwalls and hardy panels along 10th Avenue, as well as plumbing updates including a water heater replacement in 2014. The building has been actively maintained, with routine inspections and necessary repairs being documented through building complaints and permits. Recent 311 calls (from 2023-2024) show primarily exterior issues such as sidewalk cleaning and general maintenance matters, though these are typical for urban environments and do not indicate any structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1400 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1448 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
