Rent & eviction protection

Is 1 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 before 1979
Built 1963
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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

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 apartment building at 1 Crestline Dr in Twin Peaks, owned by Dorothy A Arata Trust, has undergone significant recent improvements and maintained a proactive approach to building safety and maintenance. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2014 (Tier 3 status) and installed a new conventional fire alarm system in 2021 with modern safety features including low-frequency horns and wireless communication. The property has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades, with multiple unit renovations including recent work in Unit 2 (2024), and previous renovations in Units 6, 7, 9, and 10 between 2016-2022, typically involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and installation of modern fixtures.

The building has experienced minimal serious issues, with only routine complaints and one maintenance-related incident in 2022 regarding unpermitted work in Unit 2, which was promptly addressed. Recent complaints from January 2024 regarding common area maintenance and fire safety equipment have been resolved as of January 2024. The property has documented four smoke-related fire incidents between 2012-2015, though none resulted in injuries, and three fire alarm malfunctions, indicating generally reliable safety systems. External maintenance issues reported in 2023, including graffiti and sidewalk concerns, were addressed, and recent 311 calls in 2024 have been primarily related to external conditions such as trees and pavement, rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 1 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
11thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 153 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

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

Number of units

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