Rent & eviction protection

Is 1807-1809 26Th 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 1956

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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.

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 duplex property at 1807-1809 26th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Clifford Yuk Lun Ko and Tiffa, is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1956. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2011-2012, when a comprehensive update included kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations in both units, window replacements, electrical upgrades, and the addition of a bathroom on the first level, costing approximately $63,000 in total. More recent improvements include the replacement of back wall siding with James Hardie siding in 2021, and compliance work following a physical inspection report in 2020-2021 that included both electrical and possible other systems updates.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of essential systems, including the replacement of both furnaces in 2011 and a complete reroofing project in 2012. A concerning historical incident from 1997 was recorded when a tenant reported multiple issues including lack of heat, electrical problems in the kitchen, concerns about gas appliances, and plumbing issues, though this complaint was promptly addressed within two days. The property has had minimal recent issues, with only routine matters such as sidewalk cleaning and parking enforcement recorded through 311 calls between 2019 and 2023. The most recent activity includes two street cleaning cases in 2023 and a parking enforcement case in 2022, which are typical for multi-family residential properties. An application for condo conversion was referred to public works in 2012, but the current status of that conversion is not specified in the provided records.

Risk rating

How 1807-1809 26Th 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
88thpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 98 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 age

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