Rent & eviction protection

Is 1762-1768 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 1954

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 1954
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.

The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past few years, including multiple bathroom renovations (2020-2021), a kitchen remodel (2021), and roofing work. Notably, there have been some concerning issues regarding building maintenance and tenant safety. In 2018, multiple violations were documented, including problems with exterior woodwork, damaged walls, weatherproofing issues at the roof, and concerns about lead paint hazards.

The building's infrastructure has seen improvements, with electrical system upgrades completed in 2003 and plumbing modifications in 2010.

Historical records indicate earlier concerns about the property, including illegal unit allegations in 2013-2014, water drainage issues in 2005, and routine inspections of common areas. The building has undergone various maintenance and compliance work over the years, including reroofing projects in 1989 and 2006, and has had several permits issued for interior improvements. Recent 311 calls from 2024 show ongoing concerns about parking violations in the area, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The property has had periodic issues requiring inspection and remediation, with the last known major violation set being abated in 2018, though there have been more recent complaints about building work and safety compliance. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, though some work has generated resident complaints about safety and proper permitting procedures.

Risk rating

How 1762-1768 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
7thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1388 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
