Rent & eviction protection

Is 375-379 Douglass 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

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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 375-379 Douglass Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a three-story flats & duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by Christopher G Westergaard T. The building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work over the past decade, with particular attention to kitchen and bathroom improvements. Most notably, recent work includes a completed kitchen and bath remodel on the first floor in 2022 with a cost of $20,000, and electrical upgrades in 2020 to replace old wiring with new NM cable, including the installation of a 30-amp circuit for the water heater. The building experienced structural issues in 2014-2015, requiring the replacement of rotten columns and beams on the ground floor at the rear of the building, with permits showing work completed in 2015.

The property has a history of building code violations that were addressed between 2001-2011, including issues with handrails, fire extinguishers, stairs, and self-closing doors, all of which were resolved and marked as "Not Active." A potentially concerning complaint from 2003 regarding modifications to the back stairway and emergency egress was promptly addressed and closed within three days. More recent plumbing work includes the installation of a tankless hot water heater in 2017 and various bathroom/kitchen remodels, with the most recent plumbing permit completed in October 2023. The building's maintenance record shows regular upgrades to essential systems including electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, with no active building violations or complaints on record. Recent 311 calls (2024) primarily relate to street cleaning, parking enforcement, and general urban maintenance issues in the surrounding area, rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 375-379 Douglass 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
66thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 435 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
