Rent & eviction protection

Is 950 Quintara St 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 1963
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.

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 11-unit, 3-story apartment building at 950 Quintara Street in the Inner Parkside neighborhood, built in 1963 and currently owned by Mak Jesamine, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history, with the most recent concerns centering around heating and fire safety systems. In early 2024, there were complaints about a non-functioning heater affecting seniors, which was eventually resolved. Multiple fire safety inspections between 2021 and 2023 revealed recurring issues with blocked exits, fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and alarm systems, all of which were marked as "Condition Corrected" upon follow-up inspections. The building has undergone various maintenance and repair projects, including recent window replacements in apartments 1 and 4 in March 2024, repairs of dry rot damage in 2017, and previous window upgrades replacing 38 aluminum windows with vinyl in 2006. Historical records show earlier problems with water leaks, mold, and various building systems requiring attention, including security features and emergency exit lighting. The property has maintained active permits for street space usage over multiple years, with the most recent permit issued in 2023 for a street parking area used during window replacement work.

Recent complaints from late 2024/2025 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges in the surrounding area, though these were primarily related to street conditions rather than building-specific issues. The building's maintenance history suggests a pattern of addressing basic repair needs while occasionally encountering recurring issues with building systems, particularly fire safety equipment and weatherproofing elements. The property has also experienced multiple instances of requiring repairs to address dry rot, window leaks, and stucco issues, indicating periodic challenges with building envelope maintenance over its lifespan.

Risk rating

How 950 Quintara St'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

Out of 121 buildings in this neighborhood, 120 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
