Rent & eviction protection

Is 1527 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 1527 10th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Nabiha Shatara Dabit since 2016. The building's maintenance record shows a completed reroofing project from 2007 costing $10,775. However, more recent developments are concerning; in July 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding unpermitted unit modifications, improper installations, and safety violations, including an illegally created rear studio with questionable approvals, improperly installed heating systems, unsafe gas piping, and incorrectly ventilated water heaters in the garage. These violations are currently active, with final warning letters issued in September 2023 and director hearings scheduled for January 2025.

The building has experienced consistent parking-related issues in its vicinity, particularly during late 2022 and 2023, with numerous reports of sidewalk parking violations involving various vehicles, though many of these could not be verified by responding officers. The property had one complaint filed regarding an illegal unit on the ground floor in May 2023, which is no longer active. While the building has been maintained through some regular upkeep (evidenced by the 2007 reroofing project), the recent pattern of unpermitted modifications and safety violations raises significant concerns about resident safety and regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 1527 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
8thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1374 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
