Rent & eviction protection

Is 14-16 Museum Way 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 1924

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 1924
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-unit residential building at 14-16 Museum Way in Corona Heights, owned by Thomas W. Davis Jr., was constructed in 1924 and stands three stories tall. The property has undergone several significant maintenance projects, including a completed $14,000 reroofing in July 2024 and a prior roofing project from 2006 that expired. Most notably, serious safety concerns have emerged in 2024, with multiple complaints filed in April 2024 regarding the basement storage area. Tenants reported the space as being dangerously overpacked with abandoned personal items, creating a potential fire hazard by blocking access to water heaters and tenant laundry facilities, and raising concerns about gas odors. These complaints were filed under various categories including fire safety, fire escape, damaged walls, and dilapidated structure.

The building's recent history also shows attention to exterior maintenance, with records indicating responses to various public works and environmental services calls in 2024, including graffiti removal and a blocked sidewalk complaint. Planning records reveal some historical activity around the property, including a lot split and redraw of lot lines, though most recent planning cases are listed as closed without significant developments. The property has a documented history of termite repairs from 1989, though this permit has since expired. The combination of the recent basement safety concerns and the property's age suggests ongoing maintenance and safety oversight will be important considerations for current and future residents.

Risk rating

How 14-16 Museum Way'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.
