Rent & eviction protection

Is 54 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 before 1979
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 two-unit residential building at 54 Douglass Street in Corona Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by the Marilyn Fung Family Trust. The building's maintenance history shows reroofing work was performed in 1989 and 1991, with a street space permit issued in 2008, though no significant structural modifications or major maintenance issues have been documented in recent decades.

The property has experienced several external maintenance issues in recent years, particularly relating to greenery and infrastructure. As of 2024, there are two open maintenance requests: one for a sidewalk defect caused by tree roots and another for an overgrown tree requiring pruning. The past three years have seen various resolved cases, including a general cleaning issue involving loose garbage in August 2023, tree-related incidents in June 2020 (a fallen tree) and February 2024 (pruning request), and multiple parking enforcement matters regarding driveway blockage in June 2019 and February 2020, both resulting in citations. Other notable incidents include a hazardous materials case involving glass in June 2020, which was resolved, and a color curb painting service request in February 2023 that was processed following a site survey. The building's documented history suggests regular interaction with city services primarily relates to external maintenance issues rather than internal building matters, with no reported concerns about building systems or safety features.

Risk rating

How 54 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
62ndpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 132 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

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

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
