Rent & eviction protection

Is 451 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 before 1979
Built 1946

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.

Built 1946
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 451 Monterey Blvd in Sunnyside, owned by Jorge & Irma Perez since 2010, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1946. The property has received substantial plumbing upgrades, including a complete sewer lateral replacement in 2011, gas houseline extension in 2013, and most recently, a housetrap replacement from cast iron sewer to curb in 2021, demonstrating ongoing infrastructure maintenance. The building has also seen some modernization efforts, including a kitchen remodel in 2005 and window replacement in the same year, both completed successfully.

Recent issues have raised some concerns about resident experience, particularly a sewage backup incident in December 2021 and a bed bug infestation reported in June 2019. The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking between 2018 and 2024, though these are external matters not directly related to building conditions. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of major systems, including electrical and plumbing, with all permitted work properly completed and inspected. The property's permit history indicates responsible ownership, with appropriate permits obtained for all significant work, including a street space permit in 2011 and various plumbing repairs over the years.

Risk rating

How 451 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
