Rent & eviction protection

Is 1808 47Th 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 1965

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 property at 1808 47th Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in the Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Stephanie Mary Ng Revocable Trust and constructed in 1965. The building has undergone several improvements in recent years, including window and door replacements, siding repairs, and the installation of skylights in 2022-2023. Notable maintenance work has been performed on the roofing in August 2023, and several fire safety and structural maintenance violations were documented and resolved in May-June 2020, including issues with carbon monoxide and smoke alarm compliance, egress obstruction, fire extinguisher requirements, and storage of combustible materials in the garage area.

The building's historical maintenance record shows regular inspections and some concerns requiring attention, such as a 2020 complaint about a sealed exit and outdated smoke alarm batteries in Unit 3. While the property has maintained compliance with building codes since the 2020 violations were abated, there have been recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022-2024, primarily related to sidewalk parking and construction equipment blocking spaces, though these were typically unable to be validated by responding officers. A resident complaint regarding construction noise from a neighboring project was filed in August 2022, though this was resolved within days. The building's recent maintenance history indicates active management, with three completed permits in the past two years focusing on window upgrades, roofing, and skylight installation.

Risk rating

How 1808 47Th 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
17thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 525 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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Notices of Violation (past 7 years)

DBI issued Notices of Violation at this address over the last 7 years — a direct record of code enforcement activity.
