Rent & eviction protection

Is 180 Corwin 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 1960

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 1960
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

180 Corwin Street is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by Alfredo Francisco Fernandez and constructed in 1960. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023 costing $38,700, which included the installation of wireless low frequency horns in sleeping areas to meet current safety codes. The building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2018, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent unit improvements include the installation of a laundry/dryer combo machine in Unit 2 (2024), kitchen and electrical upgrades in Unit 6 (2021), and window replacements in multiple units for improved energy efficiency.

The building has maintained active compliance with safety regulations, though it experienced its most significant maintenance challenges in 2002-2003, when multiple violations were recorded for issues including water damage, alarm system problems, and security requirements, all of which were subsequently resolved. A notable complaint regarding sewage leaks was reported in 2010 but was quickly addressed within three days. More recent history shows regular maintenance and improvements, including plumbing and electrical upgrades across various units, with records indicating proper permits were obtained and work was completed by licensed professionals.

Risk rating

How 180 Corwin 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
48thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 665 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
