Rent & eviction protection

Is 1045-1049 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1900

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 1900
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 3-unit, 1-story multi-family residential building at 1045-1049 14th Street in Corona Heights, owned by Msasa Properties LLC, has undergone significant maintenance and renovation work since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in 2024, the building has faced several pressing issues, including ongoing concerns about an unfinished flooring/exposed subflooring situation, reported in November 2024, and sagging in the ground-level floor at the front of the building, which warranted an exploratory permit in April 2024. The property has also been in the process of installing new fire sprinklers throughout the basement and first floor as of March 2024, with associated plumbing work continuing into August 2024.

The building's history reveals persistent maintenance challenges, including multiple complaints and violations between 2002 and 2024. Notable recent issues include problems with garbage disposal and rodent control in 2023-2024, emergencies involving plumbing and sewer systems, and building safety concerns. Multiple permits indicate ongoing improvements, such as a significant 2019-2021 renovation of Unit #1045A that included bathroom and kitchen remodeling, bedroom additions, and new interior stairs, along with foundation work in response to various violation notices. The building has also experienced periods of fire safety concern, with blocked exits reported and corrected in early 2024, though a serious incident involving human waste discharge occurred in February 2022. Despite these challenges, the property has seen substantial investment in infrastructure improvements, including electrical upgrades, HVAC system installation, and bathroom/kitchen remodels.

Risk rating

How 1045-1049 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

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
1stpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 345 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
