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 1695 12Th 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 1928
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

This three-unit, multi-family residential building located at 1695 12th Avenue in the Inner Sunset was constructed in 1928 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years. The property has seen major updates in 2007-2008 including comprehensive remodeling of the third-floor unit with multiple bathroom and kitchen upgrades, and in 2013, Unit #1 received a conversion from closet to full bathroom with associated plumbing and electrical work. The building also underwent exterior improvements with concrete modifications for planters in 2014 to comply with city requirements, though this incident led to a violation notice that was subsequently resolved. Historical records indicate earlier maintenance work including a 1995 reroofing project and an attempt at full sprinkler system installation in 1991, though that permit is recorded as expired.

Recent activity at the property, from 2023-2024, has primarily involved standard municipal services including responses to illegal parking incidents and routine maintenance issues like tree damage (currently open as of September 2024). A fire-related incident occurred in May 2021 that required correction but resulted in no injuries, and there has been one recorded false alarm. The building's systems have been regularly updated to meet current codes, as evidenced by the various completed permit applications for electrical and plumbing work associated with the bathroom and kitchen renovations. The property has also maintained compliance with housing inspections, with only one notable issue in 2013 regarding unpermitted paving of a flower bed area, which was addressed through the proper channels.

Risk rating

How 1695 12Th 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
15thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1269 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
