Rent & eviction protection

Is 387-391 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.

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 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 property at 387-391 Monterey Boulevard is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1946, currently owned by Johnny Briones & Karina. The building has undergone several proposed modifications over the years, including multiple attempts to add a third story between 2003-2005, all of which were either cancelled or withdrawn. Significant maintenance issues were reported in August 2003, leading to multiple housing code violations that were addressed by October 2003, including problems with electrical outlets, window seals, a cracked toilet tank, stair lighting, and smoke detectors. More recently, the building has experienced various maintenance concerns: a non-functioning oven in 2018, and in 2023, there were reports of sewage backup, mold and mildew issues, and graffiti on city receptacles. Infrastructure upgrades have been implemented, including a gas houseline extension in 2013 and a 200-amp electrical service upgrade in 2016.

The property has demonstrated some pattern of unpermitted work, with tenant complaints in April 2016 regarding construction in the garage area using unmarked vehicles and concerns about lack of proper notifications. The building's historical permit records show a mix of cancelled and withdrawn applications for major modifications, though some planning records indicate an approved decision review related to the proposed third-story addition. The most recent maintenance issues, as of 2023-2024, have primarily been related to building systems (sewage, electrical) and environmental concerns (mold), with several graffiti incidents reported in the vicinity. While these issues indicate ongoing maintenance requirements, it's worth noting that most historical violations from 2003 were resolved within approximately two months.

Risk rating

How 387-391 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
30thpercentile

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 90 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
