Rent & eviction protection

Is 1813-1815 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 1965
2 or more units

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 1965
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 two-unit residential building at 1813-1815 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by John Kock and Toykeye Yee Hwe, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1965. Most notably, between 2016 and 2018, the property underwent substantial kitchen renovations including cabinet and countertop replacements, electrical rewiring, and plumbing updates, with the work executed in stages and totaling approximately $38,000. Earlier improvements included the replacement of 11 aluminum windows and two doors with new double-pane vinyl installations in 2003. The property's maintenance record shows a recent sewer-related incident in July 2024, with a sewage backup discharge from the side sewer vent that has been resolved. Other notable infrastructure issues include a pavement defect related to a PUC project in early 2023. The building's systems have received regular attention, with improvements to both utility connections and building envelope components, though there have been some minor maintenance issues documented through the 311 system, such as a missing side sewer vent cover in 2016 (which was subsequently repaired) and various street-related matters including parking space blockages and abandoned vehicles on the surrounding streets. The property appears to have been well-maintained, with proper permits obtained for all significant work and most recent issues relating to public infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1813-1815 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
90thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 149 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
