Rent & eviction protection

Is 26 Crestline Dr 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 1964

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 12-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 26 Crestline Drive in Twin Peaks, owned by Lee Arthur & Linda Trust, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant improvements to maintain safety and compliance with modern standards. Most recently, in 2022, the building received comprehensive fire safety upgrades including a new fire system with panel, smoke detectors, pull stations, and low-frequency horns in all units, demonstrating a commitment to resident safety. The property completed a mandatory soft story retrofit in 2017, achieving Tier 3 compliance, which strengthened the building's seismic resilience. In 2023, two furnaces were replaced, and there has been ongoing maintenance of building systems including previous garage door replacements and stucco repairs.

The building's history includes several fire alarm system-related incidents and violations, though all have been documented as resolved or corrected, with the most recent fire violation being abated in August 2024. The property has seen periodic interior maintenance issues, particularly in 2003-2004, involving unit renovations and repairs to address various interior surface problems in Unit 7, though these complaints were subsequently resolved. Recent inspections and maintenance records indicate active management response to building safety and comfort requirements. External maintenance issues have been minimal, with most 311 calls relating to routine urban matters such as tree maintenance and graffiti removal in the surrounding area, rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 26 Crestline Dr'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
22ndpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 134 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
