Inner Sunset, SF 94122 1857001 4 units · 2 fl · 1922

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1503-1509 11Th 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.

Built 1922
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-story multi-family residential building at 1503-1509 11th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a 4-unit apartment structure owned by Cuan Fmly Tr, constructed in 1922. The building's maintenance record shows several significant events, with the most recent major repair occurring in 2011 when staircase repairs and railing upgrades were completed at a cost of $4,400 to meet safety codes. This work was prompted by a housing inspection that identified staircase issues, though these violations were promptly addressed within three days of being filed. The building has undergone routine safety inspections through Housing Inspection Services in 2001, 2002, and 2011, indicating regular oversight of building conditions.

Recent activity around the building from 2022 to 2024 has primarily involved external maintenance and public space concerns, including multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents, pavement defects, and street cleaning needs in the vicinity. There were also some exterior maintenance issues recorded, such as graffiti and illegal postings in 2023, though these cases were resolved. Of note is a single cooking-related fire incident that was contained and caused no civilian injuries, though the date of this occurrence was not specified in the records. The building's last major documented internal improvement was the reroofing work from 1996, which is now considered expired under current permit status. The most recent building-related service request from October 2024 concerns water service, which remains open.

Risk rating

How 1503-1509 11Th 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
20thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1194 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
