Rent & eviction protection

Is 1069-1071 14Th 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.

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 1912
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 1069-1071 14th Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by the Tracy T Tran Revocable Trust. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2022, when two related complaints were filed concerning drainage problems in the courtyard, with reports of standing water and sewage-like odors. These problems culminated in a complaint about lack of hot water due to a locked utility room. While these violations were marked as not active, they represent the most substantial residential quality issues in recent years.

The building has undergone various permit applications in recent years, with the most promising development being a permit issued in 2021 for interior remodeling of the top-floor unit (1071 14th St) that included new doors, finishes, fixtures, and skylights, as well as the installation of solar panels. An earlier proposal for adding an accessory dwelling unit with a new sprinkler system was withdrawn. The property has generated a total of 87 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the majority in recent years being related to parking issues, though one June 2024 report mentioned sidewalk defects that inspectors found warranted no further action. Three building inspection complaints and notices of violation were filed over this period, with a total of three building permits showing a significant investment in property improvements estimated at approximately $424,301.

Risk rating

How 1069-1071 14Th 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
