Rent & eviction protection

Is 1155 Stanyan 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 1890
2 or more units

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

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 1890
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 1155 Stanyan Street property is a 3-unit multi-family residential building located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, owned by the Wissotzky-Lorinczi Family Trust. Built in 1890, this three-story flats & duplex structure has undergone several significant modifications over the years, with the most recent major work focused on restoring the second floor unit to its original configuration from 1990, including kitchen relocation and entrance modifications, under a $110,552 permit issued in December 2023. This restoration project is addressing an important compliance issue, as the building had allegedly been converted from its original 3-unit layout to a single-family residence in 2003 without proper permits. The recent permits also include comprehensive upgrades to windows, plumbing systems (including new bathroom facilities and water heater), and electrical systems, indicating substantial modernization of the building's infrastructure.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety improvements, including a significant seismic reinforcement in 1989, window replacements in 1990, and various repairs to decks, stairs, and siding over the years. In 2002-2004, the property faced multiple building violations related to guardrails, stairs, egress obstruction, and plumbing issues, all of which were resolved by February 2004. The most recent building inspections (2017 and 2009) have been marked as not active. Recent 311 calls regarding the property have primarily concerned external maintenance issues such as toter management and graffiti, which were typical neighborhood maintenance matters. The various permits and improvements documented in the past year show active management and investment in restoring and upgrading the building to meet current standards, while also addressing historical configuration and permit compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 1155 Stanyan 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
90thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 53 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Neighborhood location

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