Rent & eviction protection

Is 2049-2055 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 1940

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 2049-2055 9th Avenue in Golden Gate Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Paul T & Mai V Le 2002 Revo Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work in recent years, with the most recent activity being an issued permit for reroofing work valued at $10,900 in April 2024. In 2023, approximately 100 square feet of rear deck tiles were repaired, and in 2022, the building underwent substantial interior work including a kitchen remodel and bathroom renovations in compliance with a building violation notice. These improvements included the replacement of windows and various fixtures, with associated plumbing and electrical permits properly obtained and completed. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues dating back several decades, including termite repairs in 2000, dry rot repairs in 2001, and window replacements in 1990.

Recent maintenance challenges have included multiple sewage backup incidents in December 2024, which were promptly addressed by the Public Utilities Commission. A significant cluster of 311 calls in late 2024 was recorded, primarily related to street cleaning issues and parking concerns, though these were generally resolved promptly. Between 2017 and 2022, there were several complaints and violation notices regarding unauthorized construction work, including unpermitted kitchen and window modifications, though these issues appear to have been resolved through subsequent proper permitting and inspections. The property was involved in one tenant buyout in December 2021, resulting in the relocation of two tenants with a payment of $40,000.

Risk rating

How 2049-2055 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
0thpercentile

Out of 32 buildings in this neighborhood, 32 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
