Rent & eviction protection

Is 515 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 1945

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 two-unit residential building at 515 Monterey Blvd in Sunnyside, owned by Waldo M Jr Johnson, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1945. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure updates in recent years, including a completed $16,000 reroofing project in March 2023, and a furnace replacement in December 2024. Historical plumbing work includes a sewer repair completed in 2011, which is notable given the building's age and the recent water main leak reported in December 2024.

The property has experienced various maintenance and service issues over the past several years, with the most pressing being an open case from December 2021 regarding a collapsed sidewalk that remains unresolved as of the latest data. Other infrastructure-related incidents include multiple reports of illegal postings in 2020 and 2021, and a parking violation involving a sidewalk obstruction in February 2022. The building's more recent history shows relatively few serious complaints, with most recent 311 calls primarily relating to routine municipal service matters such as street cleaning and waste management. While there have been some quality-of-life issues in the vicinity, including toter management and general street defects, these have generally been resolved through normal city processes. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of major systems, with no indications of systemic infrastructure problems beyond the noted sidewalk issue.

Risk rating

How 515 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
82ndpercentile

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 23 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
