Rent & eviction protection

Is 821 Burnett 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
Built 1973
2 or more units
5 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM1
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 1973
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-story, five-unit apartment building at 821 Burnett Avenue in Twin Peaks, owned by Randall E. and Laura D. Meyers, was constructed in 1973 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2016 (Tier 3) with a $40,000 investment, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes a 2017 fire alarm system upgrade, with replacement of control panels and detectors, and exterior improvements such as siding repairs in 2017 and wood shingle replacement on the building's front facade. The property has seen consistent upkeep of essential systems, including a furnace replacement in 2016, kitchen remodels with modern amenities (2016), and window replacements with energy-efficient units in 2009.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety requirements, with significant investments in infrastructure including a $23,000 siding repair project in 2017 and various electrical and plumbing upgrades. Historical records indicate attention to building preservation, with repairs to address fungus damage in 2006 and a complete reroofing effort in 2000. Routine housing inspections conducted between 2001 and 2016, while requiring no specific follow-up actions, suggest regular oversight of basic building conditions. Recent maintenance patterns indicate ongoing investment in both safety systems and resident amenities, with particular attention to fire safety and seismic stability.

Risk rating

How 821 Burnett 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
61stpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 67 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
