Rent & eviction protection

Is 261-263 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 1900

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 261-263 Corbett Avenue property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Rita Y Tung 2006 Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, with the most recent activity being a filed interior remodel project in 2019 that included window removal and electrical/plumbing work. Between 2018-2019, substantial improvements were made to unit 263, including a $20,000 kitchen remodel with new cabinets and appliances, and extensive electrical upgrades including the installation of new circuits, lights, and a subpanel. The building has a history of addressing safety and compliance issues, with multiple building permits obtained to rectify violations, including repairs to handrails, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and window replacements. In 2002, several violations related to lead paint, fire safety, and building requirements were identified but were abated by May 2003. More recently, a 2020 complaint was filed regarding unauthorized work, though this complaint was ultimately marked as not active.

The property underwent significant infrastructure improvements in the early 2000s, including an underground conversion project and sewer/housetrap replacement in 2017. Several maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, including recent reports of toters being left out (2023-2024), sidewalk cleaning needs, and tree root damage to the sidewalk (2021). The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both routine upkeep and necessary repairs, with multiple completed permits indicating ongoing investment in maintaining the property's infrastructure and addressing safety concerns. The most recent building permit activity appears to be from 2019, suggesting no major structural modifications have been attempted in the past four years.

Risk rating

How 261-263 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
