Rent & eviction protection

Is 474 Monterey Blvd 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 1966

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
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 two-unit residential building at 474 Monterey Boulevard in the Sunnyside neighborhood, owned by Wong Stanton D, was constructed in 1966 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its history, with the most recent being a solar panel installation completed in January 2024, featuring 18 PV modules with a 7.38 kW DC output and a 10 kWh battery system. In 2005, substantial renovations were carried out, including front door replacement, new stucco application, and deck repairs on the second and third floors, for which a permit was issued and completed at a cost of $15,000.

The building faced notable challenges in 2019 when multiple housing code violations were documented, including issues with rodent infestation, kitchen hood vent pipes, and stairway obstructions, all of which were addressed and abated by April 2019. An earlier complaint from 2005 regarding deck condition and dry rot was also resolved. The property has experienced various maintenance and service requests in recent years, including sewer odor issues in 2020, tree root damage to sidewalks (currently open as of 2021), and multiple parking-related complaints in 2024. Several 311 calls regarding street cleaning, faded signage, and utility services have been recorded, with most cases marked as resolved. The building's history shows a pattern of prompt response to violations and maintenance issues, though some ongoing infrastructure concerns, such as the tree root impact on property, have been noted.

Risk rating

How 474 Monterey Blvd'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
89thpercentile

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 14 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
