Rent & eviction protection

Is 1344 Ocean Ave 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 1925

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

1344 Ocean Avenue is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Miguel F & Joanne P Navarro. The property has undergone significant telecommunications infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including multiple antenna installations and equipment updates for AT&T, Verizon, and Dish Wireless between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent work involving a $30,000 electrical revision filed in December 2023. The building faced several serious issues in late 2021, including violations related to plumbing permits, fire escape ladders, central alarm system, self-closing devices, and lead paint hazards, though these violations were abated by August 2022. More recent complaints from 2023 and early 2024 have raised concerns about plumbing leaks, alleged hoarding, and animal waste accumulation in one unit.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety issues requiring attention, including problems with the central alarm system, fire safety equipment, and various building code compliance matters. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing property maintenance concerns, particularly regarding sidewalk conditions and garbage issues. The most recent fire violation in September 2023 related to the alarm system has been marked as abated. Multiple routine inspections have been conducted over the years, revealing various maintenance and safety compliance needs, with many issues being corrected promptly. The property has also maintained active engagement with city planning processes, particularly regarding its telecommunications facilities, with several conditional use permits and modifications related to wireless equipment installations being successfully processed and implemented. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, recent years have shown substantial investment in both telecommunications infrastructure and addressing building code violations, though some recent complaints suggest ongoing property management concerns.

Risk rating

How 1344 Ocean Ave'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
33rdpercentile

Out of 6 buildings in this neighborhood, 4 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.

Building size

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

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

Number of units

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