Rent & eviction protection

Is 320-326 14Th 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.

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 1908
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

This 16-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 320-326 14th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission was built in 1908 and is currently owned by 320-324 14th Owner LLC. The property has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, including a completed soft-story retrofit (Tier 4) in 2022-2023, which involved revisions to shear wall locations, and a $45,000 fire alarm system upgrade in 2020 to comply with current fire safety standards. Recent maintenance work includes electrical upgrades for range hoods in Units 5 and 6 and the installation of safety improvements like smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.

However, the building has experienced some concerning issues in 2023-2024, including complaints about leaking ceilings with mold, a potentially illegal unit, and building exterior work generating paint chips entering units. There were also significant safety concerns noted in 2023 regarding the side/back stairs being blocked with debris and personal items, creating potential fire hazards. The property has a history of various maintenance and compliance issues that have been addressed over time, including plumbing upgrades (such as sewer lateral replacements in 2019), kitchen and bathroom rehabilitations in multiple units, and past building violations concerning heating, smoke detectors, and handrails (all of which were ultimately abated). While many recent improvements suggest active maintenance of the property, the recent pattern of complaints and violations indicates ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident safety that merit attention.

Risk rating

How 320-326 14Th 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
