Rent & eviction protection

Is 4058-4060 17Th 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.

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 property at 4058-4060 17th Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 in the Corona Heights neighborhood, currently owned by Casa Luna Sf Llc. The building's history reveals significant renovation activity in the early 2000s, including a substantial $60,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel with plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2003, followed by various related permits for window replacements and foundation modifications. Notably, the building underwent unauthorized modifications in 2000 that resulted in multiple violations, including unpermitted stairways, deck constructions, and interior renovations, though these violations were abated by November 2001. Between 2003 and 2004, several complaints were filed regarding construction activities, including concerns about unpermitted window installations, complete interior gutting, and noise disturbances.

The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, including a 2019 complaint about prolonged scaffolding with no work being performed, and a 2010 inquiry regarding a potential change of use to a bed and breakfast/hotel, though this complaint was quickly resolved. Recent years show repetitive issues with street cleaning and maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding abandoned furniture, while planning records indicate efforts to legalize a noncomplying laundry room construction at the rear of the building. The building's fire incident history shows two recorded events: a contained cooking fire and a malfunctioning extinguishing system, neither resulting in civilian injuries. Current concerns appear to be primarily external to the building, focusing on street maintenance and urban challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 4058-4060 17Th 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
26thpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 258 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.

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.
