Rent & eviction protection

Is 1427-1429 Taraval 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 1933

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1933
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 residential building at 1427-1429 Taraval Street, located in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1933 and currently owned by Yu Kin-hung Peony. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the past two decades. Most recently, in early 2023, substantial work was completed, including the rebuilding of damaged second exit stairs in the lightwell area, relocation of furnaces and water heaters in the garage area, and associated electrical and plumbing upgrades, with a total investment of approximately $25,000. More recent concerns include a sewer backup incident from the side sewer vent in June 2024, which has been resolved, and ongoing issues with graffiti on the sidewalk in front of the property.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including reroofing work in 2015 ($6,200), kitchen remodeling in 2002 ($10,000), and vinyl siding installation in 2001 ($7,875). The property has a documented history of graffiti issues in the surrounding area, with multiple reports between 2022 and 2024, though most were not directly affecting the building itself. The only recent building permit of note indicates compliance work in response to a physical inspection report completed in May 2024, with a cost of $1.00. Planning records show approved permits for exterior egress stair replacement and condo conversion discussions, although the latter appears to have been handled through legal representation. The building's major systems have received attention through various upgrades, including an electrical service conversion in 2004 and comprehensive electrical work in 2023 to support new heating and water systems.

Risk rating

How 1427-1429 Taraval 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
61stpercentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 99 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.
