Rent & eviction protection

Is 1801-1805 10Th 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 1953
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 1953
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 1801-1805 10th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, constructed in 1953 and currently owned by the John M Fitzgerald Revocable Trust, has experienced several notable occurrences over its history. Most concerning are recent sewer-related issues, with multiple incidents reported between October and November 2024 involving sewage back-ups from different sources, including a 4-inch sewer vent and a catch basin. In 2010, the building underwent a routine housing inspection that revealed several safety concerns, including the need for seismic bracing of the hot water heater, gas meter instructional diagrams to be posted, and the provision of necessary gas shutoff tools; all these violations were subsequently resolved by October 2010. The building's maintenance history shows a reroofing project from 1993 and a building code compliance update completed in 1984. While there have been various other incidents on record, such as parking violations and transportation-related requests, the most pressing concern remains the building's recent plumbing issues. Additionally, three fire department responses related to gas and carbon monoxide detector activations have been documented, though none resulted in civilian injuries, with one incident specifically noted as a false alarm.

Risk rating

How 1801-1805 10Th 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
43rdpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 851 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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