Rent & eviction protection

Is 2050 43Rd 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 1946
2 or more units

Property type

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.

Built 1946
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 two-unit multi-family residential building at 2050 43rd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood was built in 1946 and has undergone several significant modifications and improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2014, a playroom conversion was completed to create a new kitchen as part of legalizing an in-law dwelling unit, with associated plumbing and electrical work done in 2015. The property has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades, including a solar panel installation in 2020 featuring 14 roof-mounted PV modules, and a major horizontal addition completed in 2004 that included the construction of 2 bedrooms, 2 living areas, and 2 bathrooms. The building has experienced some maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple reports of garbage and debris (including overflowing city garbage cans) between December 2024 and January 2025, as well as an open public health complaint from January 2025.

The property has maintained generally good safety records, with only one fire-related incident recorded since 2021, consisting of a blocked exit (which received a violation notice) and an electrical wiring equipment problem. Historical records show proper attention to building code compliance, including the successful completion of various improvement projects and the abatement of multiple fire code violations at a neighboring address (1920 41st Avenue) related to sprinkler systems, doors, and emergency lighting between 2021 and 2024. The building's ownership has participated in tenant buyout programs in the area, with recorded payments to former tenants at nearby addresses in 2015, 2018, 2019, and 2020, suggesting potential turnover in the building's vicinity.

Risk rating

How 2050 43Rd 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
97thpercentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 6 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
