Rent & eviction protection

Is 177 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 1900
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH2
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-unit residential building at 177 Corbett Avenue in Corona Heights, owned by the Sullivan 2001 Trust, is a two-story Victorian structure built in 1900 that has undergone several significant renovations over the past few decades. Most recently, in August 2022, a building violation was filed regarding unauthorized window replacements on the front facade, though this was subsequently addressed through an issued permit for energy-efficient Anderson double-hung windows. The building has seen substantial improvements over the years, including electrical system upgrades with a complete rewiring of one flat in 2003, installation of underground electrical service in 2005, and several maintenance projects such as reroofing work in 1999 (expired permit) and 2002 ($13,225), kitchen renovations in 2002, and structural modifications including horizontal addition in 1989 and deck stair revisions in 1990.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in recent years, including sidewalk defects noted in 2022 and reports of graffiti, though these were resolved through municipal channels. Historical records show attention to tree maintenance in the vicinity, with two incidents of fallen trees reported in 2013 and 2016. The building's age and history suggest regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly focusing on windows and electrical systems, while also indicating some periodic maintenance issues with exterior elements like the roof and sidewalks. The most recent windows installation, now permitted and completed, appears to have brought the building into compliance with current building codes after the July 2022 violation.

Risk rating

How 177 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
35thpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 226 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

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

Director's hearing rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building rate of director's hearings across the owner's portfolio.

Building age
