Rent & eviction protection

Is 1569 48Th 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1908
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 1569 48th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, with significant recent modifications including the addition of a third unit in 2021. The building underwent substantial safety and modernization improvements between 2018-2022, including comprehensive fire sprinkler system installations in both the front and rear buildings, installation of fire-rated windows, and updates to the fire alarm systems. In 2020-2021, the property received complete renovations including bathroom and kitchen remodels, plumbing updates, and electrical system improvements with a service upgrade to 200 amps.

The building had several concerning issues in 2017 that were subsequently resolved, including a rat infestation, water damage, black mold, and multiple maintenance violations related to heating, weatherproofing, and other interior issues. These problems were all abated by October 2017. The most recent inspection-related work was completed in 2022, confirming the building's current compliance with safety standards. The property has undergone significant improvements since the 2017 issues, including the addition of a new dwelling unit, horizontal and vertical expansions, and various interior upgrades. There was one recorded tenant buyout in June 2017 for $10,000. Recent complaints (2023-2024) have primarily been related to parking issues in the vicinity of the property, rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1569 48Th 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
