Rent & eviction protection

Is 400-402 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 1941
2 or more units

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 1941
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 property at 400-402 Douglass Street is a one-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1941, currently owned by Daphne & Raynard Bateman 19. The two-unit structure, classified as a Flats & Duplex, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Major renovations include a 2011 exterior repair of decayed planters with a steel structure at the second-floor level, a comprehensive kitchen renovation in 2000 involving cabinet replacement, sheetrock repairs, painting, and floor refinishing, and reroofing completed in 1997. The building has experienced two notable plumbing-related incidents: a 2000 complaint about sewage issues at the top of the stairs (resolved within two weeks) and a 2004 incident involving water and potential sewage concerns at the base of a retaining wall (resolved within two weeks).

The property has had minimal emergency response activity, with four fire department responses recorded between 2018 and 2020, including one smoke scare and one contained cooking fire, though no civilian injuries were reported in any incident. Recent activity around the property has primarily consisted of routine municipal services, including multiple reports of abandoned Christmas trees, graffiti incidents (including offensive graffiti), and general street cleaning needs, most of which were resolved promptly by the appropriate city departments. While the building's maintenance history shows attention to structural issues and unit improvements, the two significant plumbing incidents from 2000 and 2004 remain the most notable concerns in the property's historical record.

Risk rating

How 400-402 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
90thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 128 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
