Rent & eviction protection

Is 234 Corbett Ave 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 1956
2 or more units

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.

Built 1956
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

234 Corbett Avenue is a three-story, multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, consisting of two units and constructed in 1956. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the years, including a reroofing project completed in 2004 at a cost of $7,385, and an underground electrical service conversion with two meters in that same year. The building experienced water-related issues in 1999, when housing inspection services documented complaints about water damage and roof problems, though these were addressed within a week of being reported. A fire alarm system complaint was filed during the 2005 holiday season, but was determined to have no merit by January 2006.

More recently, in the fall of 2024, there has been notable activity related to scooter services, with multiple requests (seven recorded instances between October 10 and October 29) for scooter services through the Municipal Transportation Agency's Access/Mobility Services, all of which were successfully resolved. Additional recent municipal activity includes a parking enforcement call on September 28, 2024, regarding sidewalk parking, which officers were unable to locate upon response. There is currently one open public works request from September 5, 2024, regarding the "buf" service, and a successfully resolved case from July 2024 involving electronic waste debris removal. The building's documented history shows improvements to its basic infrastructure while maintaining relatively few recorded complaints, though recent months have seen increased interaction with various municipal services primarily related to neighborhood mobility and street maintenance.

Risk rating

How 234 Corbett Ave'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
83rdpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 59 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 age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

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