Rent & eviction protection

Is 801 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 before 1979

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.

Just-cause eviction

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 21-unit multi-family residential building at 801 Corbett Avenue, owned by Meh Pioneer LLC and built in 1962, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges over the past decade. Most recently, there was a complaint in February 2024 about insufficient hot water (measuring only 110-113 degrees), and in 2023 there were two instances of garbage and debris issues outside the building that were resolved. The property completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $20,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The building has seen numerous unit renovations and infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of a new hot water boiler in early 2024, repairs to multiple bathrooms in 2020, and significant improvements to its fire safety systems in 2013 with replacement of alarms and detectors costing over $13,000. Several complaints regarding unauthorized work have been filed, including in 2021 and 2020, though these were subsequently resolved. In 2013-2014, the property underwent major exterior renovations including window replacements, stucco work, and deck repairs, costing approximately $530,000. The building has maintained active management of compliance issues, with all recorded violations having been abated, though there were historical concerns about lead paint in 2013 that were addressed.

Risk rating

How 801 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
5thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 163 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
