Rent & eviction protection

Is 1675-1677 9Th 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1927

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 1927
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 1675-1677 9th Avenue property in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Dennis J Huey. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects in recent years, most notably a roof replacement completed in March 2024 costing $12,800, and the installation of new fiber cement siding on the exterior rear in April 2023 at a cost of $8,500. An electrical upgrade was completed in 2003 with an underground service conversion to a two-meter, 100-amp system configuration. The property has maintained an active record of addressing maintenance needs, with the most recent changes focusing on exterior improvements and infrastructure upgrades.

The building's history includes various 311 calls primarily related to neighborhood concerns rather than building-specific issues. Recent noise-related incidents were reported in 2024 and 2022, with one major event venue noise complaint in August 2024. There have been multiple incidents of parking violations, including sidewalk parking complaints in 2020 and 2022, though these are external to the property itself. Service requests to the Department of Public Works (DPW) between 2020-2022 addressed illegal postings and general cleaning needs in the vicinity of the building. The property's maintenance record, particularly the recent roofing and siding work, suggests regular attention to building upkeep, though the noise and parking violation history may be of interest to prospective tenants regarding neighborhood conditions.

Risk rating

How 1675-1677 9Th 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
83rdpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 254 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.
