Rent & eviction protection

Is 1161 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 1900
2 or more units
8 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH3
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 two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1161 Stanyan St, owned by Eldredge Family Trust since 2009, has a recorded history dating back to 1900. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related projects over the years, including a completed reroofing in 2012 ($19,500), temporary shoring work in 2013 ($96,000), and an attempted soft-story retrofit in 2016 (permit withdrawn). Historical records from 1988-1989 show completion of interior improvements addressing dry rot and termite damage, as well as bathroom fixture and kitchen appliance updates. A notable cluster of fire safety violations was recorded in March 2005, involving fire extinguisher maintenance and fire escape ladder repairs, all of which were abated within a month.

Recent building inspections include a routine inspection in March 2023, though no specific violations were noted. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges in 2023, with reports of a collapsed sidewalk (June 2023) and hazardous materials (liquids) on-site (December 2023), both of which were resolved. The area around the building has seen various municipal service calls, including reports of illegal postings, sign defacement, and parking violations within the vicinity, though these are external issues not directly related to the building's management or condition. The most recent building-related issues appear to be primarily centered around exterior infrastructure rather than internal building systems or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1161 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
13thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 458 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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