Rent & eviction protection

Is 1446-1448 9Th 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 1909

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 1909
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 1446-1448 9th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by the Delorenzi Family Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related events since its construction in 1909. Most recently, in February 2023, the building received a substantial roof renovation costing $19,200, which involved complete removal of existing roofing materials and installation of new shingles and a modified bitumen system. The electrical system was notably upgraded in 2003 with an underground service conversion and 200-amp main service upgrade. The building has experienced several safety inspections and maintenance issues over the years, including three separate building violations in 2002 related to staircase repairs, and 2010 violations concerning fire safety equipment and handrails, though all these issues were abated within reasonable time frames.

There have been multiple concerning incidents regarding unauthorized units in the building, with investigations in 2012-2013 suggesting the presence of unauthorized units with separate utilities and questionable access routes. A notable infrastructure issue occurred in 2013 with a flood incident reported in one of the apartments. While the building's documented history shows these violations and complaints were addressed and resolved, including a 1986 permit to bring the building into code compliance, the property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, with multiple citations for blocked driveways recorded between 2021 and 2024. The building's maintenance record, particularly the recent roof renovation and electrical upgrades, suggests active property management, though the historical pattern of building violations regarding safety features and unauthorized units indicates past maintenance challenges that required remediation.

Risk rating

How 1446-1448 9Th 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
74thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 388 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
