Rent & eviction protection

Is 275 States 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

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 three-story duplex at 275 States Street in Corona Heights, owned by Edward J. and Linda L. Mullins, was built in 1900 and contains two residential units. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, with the most recent significant work occurring in 2019 when roof rafters were repaired and the roofing membrane patched to address a violation from March 2019. The property has experienced recurring garage-related problems, with multiple complaints about the detached garage including reports of it being dilapidated, unsafe, and posing potential fire hazards due to rotted wood, loose wires, and stored flammables, with the most recent complaint filed in December 2010. Previous major renovations include substantial work in 2006-2007 when kitchen cabinets were replaced, new circuits installed, windows replaced, and a furnace system upgraded, along with repairs to handrails and stairs.

The building has faced several building code enforcement matters over the years, including a 2006 violation for sewer repairs done without proper permits and a 2010 complaint regarding unsafe garage conditions. Both the sewer issue and garage problems were eventually abated, though the garage remained a recurring concern in inspections around 2010. The property underwent significant modification work in the late 1980s, including attic enclosure and stair modifications, and hardware installation in 1987. Recent 311 calls (2022-2024) primarily relate to street cleaning, parking violations, and graffiti issues, rather than building-specific concerns. While there was a proposal for redevelopment to convert the two-unit building into a three-unit structure, this plan was withdrawn. The duplex's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of basic systems, though with occasional deferred maintenance that has required intervention.

Risk rating

How 275 States 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
75thpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 87 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
