Rent & eviction protection

Is 301 Judah St 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 1964
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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

301 Judah Street is a 3-story, 14-unit multi-family residential building located in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1964 and currently owned by the O'Neill Family Marital Trust. The building has several significant ongoing maintenance and safety issues that warrant attention. Most notably, there are multiple active building violations from November 2016 that remain unresolved, including problems with damaged ceilings, fire enclosure doors, fire escape drop ladders, safety lighting, combustible storage, weatherproofing, and the need for an affidavit to comply with structural maintenance requirements. The building is also listed as non-compliant with the mandatory soft-story retrofit program, though there have been attempts to complete retrofit work in 2017 and 2019 involving moment frame replacements and related permits.

The building has a history of maintenance concerns affecting resident comfort and safety. Recent issues include heating system problems (both from 2010-2011 and during 2016), water system complaints, and various building maintenance items. Boiler and fire safety systems have required attention, with multiple complaints and violations regarding alarms, fire escapes, and system maintenance documented between 2006 and 2020. The building underwent a reroofing project in 2012 and received a new hydronic heating boiler installation that same year, indicating some investment in infrastructure upgrades. While there have been numerous 311 calls for exterior maintenance and cleaning of surrounding areas in 2023-2024, these are primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk conditions rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 301 Judah St'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
4thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1433 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
