Rent & eviction protection

Is 47 Juniper 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 1908

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 47 Juniper Street in the South of Market neighborhood, owned by Angelo Garro, has experienced several noteworthy events since its construction in 1908 as a one-story flats and duplex structure. Most concerning is a recent fire safety violation from June 2024 regarding missing standpipe caps, while the property has also faced multiple fire system-related issues in the past, including sprinkler/standpipe system violations in June 2024, and alarm system problems in late 2010. There have been a series of fire alarm activations over the years, all determined to be false alarms or system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported.

The building's recent history shows significant external challenges during late 2024, including multiple incidents of urban infrastructure and public space concerns, such as flooding, graffiti, and street cleaning issues. There were two encampment-related incidents near the property in November 2024, though responders were either unable to locate the encampment or it had dispersed by the time of their arrival. Street infrastructure issues were addressed in late 2024, including a burnt-out street light and street cleaning matters, both of which were resolved. The property underwent reroofing work in 1990, though this permit has since expired.

Risk rating

How 47 Juniper 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
54thpercentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 198 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
