Rent & eviction protection

Is 1509 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 1910

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 1910
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 1509 10th Ave in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Andrew Todd Lorek and Anita Radhika. The building has undergone significant renovations and safety improvements over the past several years, with the most recent work occurring in 2024, including window schedule updates and fireplace removal modifications. Major improvements between 2019-2024 included a comprehensive rewiring project replacing all knob-and-tube wiring, installation of a new fire sprinkler system throughout the building, various plumbing upgrades including new shower pans and furnaces, and exterior work including stucco application to the north and west elevations. The building has had several permit revisions and completions, indicating active management of construction work and compliance with safety standards.

Historical records show that the building has faced several maintenance and safety issues in the past, including concerns about unstable back stairs with dry rot (1999), construction noise complaints (2019), and a sewage backup incident during construction work (2019). There were also previous complaints regarding construction debris and unpermitted unit modifications, though these issues appear to have been resolved through subsequent permits and renovations. Recent permits and inspections suggest that the current ownership has been actively addressing building code requirements and safety systems, including fire safety upgrades and electrical system modernization, though there have been minor complaints about construction noise and scheduling during the renovation period. The most recent building permit activity as of 2024 indicates ongoing modifications primarily related to window and fireplace changes, with no major outstanding safety or building code violations noted in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1509 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
97thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 45 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
