Rent & eviction protection

Is 1335 Folsom St 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 2018
2 or more units
59 units

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 2018
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Likely exempt from AB 1482. Housing with a certificate of occupancy issued within the previous 15 years is exempt from the state rent cap and just-cause rules.

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 59-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 1335 Folsom St, owned by 1335 Folsom LLC, has been subject to significant regulatory scrutiny since its 2018 construction. Most recently, in February 2024, an internal audit led to active building violations regarding several unauthorized modifications, including changes to the Folsom St unit entry, incomplete exterior balcony stairs for ground floor units 101-105 on the Dore St side, an uninstalled sunshade structure on the level 6 balcony, and a roof deck that exceeds its approved size of 1,500 square feet. The building has experienced recurrent fire safety-related incidents, though with no injuries reported; these include false alarms and several cooking-related incidents, with sprinkler/standpipe system issues reported and corrected in both 2018 and early 2023.

The property has generated numerous building complaints and 311 calls regarding surrounding street conditions throughout 2024, primarily related to garbage, debris, and waste on public sidewalks, with multiple cases of human waste/urine recorded in the vicinity. These environmental issues, while external to the building itself, may impact resident experience. The building has undergone various uses and modifications since construction, including a change of use to a full restaurant under Prop H and securing an ABC Type 41 license, though it is unclear how these commercial modifications relate to the residential units. The most pressing current concern remains the active building violations from February 2024, which note non-compliance with several original approvals and require resolution according to San Francisco Building Code provisions.

Risk rating

How 1335 Folsom St'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
7thpercentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 400 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
