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.

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

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
40thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 379 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
