Rent & eviction protection

Is 51 Levant 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 1921
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 51 Levant Street in Corona Heights, owned by Raymond Philip Hoehn Jr Rev, has a documented history dating back to 1990, when significant structural work was undertaken on the stairs, including repairs to address rot and the subsequent rebuilding of existing stairs. The building underwent termite damage repairs in 1993 and received a new roof in 2000 at a cost of $7,800, though this permit has since expired. The property's maintenance history suggests attention to structural integrity and safety, particularly regarding access points.

More recent events in the vicinity of the property (2021-2024) have primarily involved external matters outside the building itself, including multiple reports of abandoned vehicles, some of which were resolved after law enforcement arrived but the vehicles were no longer present. The area experienced two tree-related incidents in 2021-2023, including a fallen tree in March 2023 and a dead tree in August 2021, both of which were addressed by city services. There have been several parking enforcement calls regarding driveway blocking in 2023, though in each case the vehicles were either unable to be located or had departed by the time officers arrived. While these external incidents don't directly reflect on the building's condition, they do provide context about the immediate neighborhood environment and its challenges.

Risk rating

How 51 Levant 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
74thpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 90 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
