Rent & eviction protection

Is 1 Douglass 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 1906

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 1906
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 2-unit residential building at 1 Douglass Street in Corona Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by the Arthur D Fulton 2004 Trust. This property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work including multiple garbage and debris clean-up operations in late 2024/early 2025, though these were external to the building itself. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, including a bathroom remodel in 2015 (with subsequent dry rot repair), furnace installation in 2014, and a substantial kitchen renovation in 2011 that included removing a bearing wall and installing new laundry facilities. Compliance inspections in 2013-2014 required the legalization of an existing deck and updates to the electrical system, including a 200-amp service upgrade.

Recent activity about the building shows ongoing attention to property maintenance, though many recent 311 calls have been related to external issues like graffiti, sidewalk cleanliness, and street cleaning, rather than structural or safety concerns with the building itself. The property successfully completed a two-unit condo conversion process, with approvals obtained in 2014 through the DPW Lottery Bypass program. The building's permit history suggests regular updates to maintain and enhance the property, with particular attention paid to plumbing, electrical, and structural elements, including multiple street space permits in 2012 possibly indicating some exterior work or access requirements.

Risk rating

How 1 Douglass 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
65thpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 122 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
