Rent & eviction protection

Is 328 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.

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.

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 328 Corbett Avenue in Corona Heights, owned by James E. Packer, has a documented history dating back to its 1908 construction. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with the most recent being window replacements in 2017 ($3,500) and electrical upgrades in 2004 including an underground service conversion with two meters. Major works were performed in 2003, including a comprehensive roof replacement (both removal and installation of new materials at $13,500) and repairs to the porch structure ($7,500). Earlier improvements include a kitchen, laundry room, and bathroom remodel completed in 1990.

Of particular concern is the recent history of sewer-related issues, with multiple incidents reported between 2022 and 2023. Notable occurrences include flooding on the property in September 2022, a sewage backup in September 2023, and an odor incident in November 2023. The building also experienced plumbing code violations in 2011 regarding a missing house trap/fresh air inlet, though this was resolved within three months. Infrastructure improvements were made in 2011 to address this violation, including the uncovering of a building vent sewer connection. Additional maintenance matters have been addressed over the years, including sidewalk repairs (2000) and various other plumbing and electrical updates. The property has generally been compliant with building codes, with most violations being promptly addressed and resolved. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned sewer issues, with the most recent plumbing-related service requests indicating ongoing infrastructure challenges.

Risk rating

How 328 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
58thpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 146 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
