Rent & eviction protection

Is 1421-1425 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 1924
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1924
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 three-story mixed-use building at 1421-1425 Taraval Street in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood is a 4-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1924, currently owned by the Soo Sum Lee Yee Revoc Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over its history, including a 2005 electrical upgrade to 200A service and various street space modifications in 2012. Building code compliance work was completed in 1987, and a front window repair was carried out in 2000. A minor demolition permit from 1986 has since expired.

In recent years, the building has experienced recurring issues with its commercial storefront, leading to multiple violations of the Vacant or Abandoned Commercial StoreFront Ordinance between 2019-2020, with the most recent complaint still listed as active in 2020 regarding 2020 registration. The property has also been the subject of various maintenance and service calls, primarily related to external factors such as street cleaning, graffiti removal, and infrastructure maintenance. Recent 311 calls include requests for graffiti removal (2023), painting services (2023), and reports of overflowing garbage cans (2022). The building's exterior has faced some challenges, with documented instances of graffiti (most recently in 2023) and issues related to a damaged tree (2020), though all reported incidents have been resolved through appropriate channels. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to building systems and exterior upkeep, though the recurring vacant storefront issue represents the most significant ongoing concern.

Risk rating

How 1421-1425 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
9thpercentile
