Rent & eviction protection

Is 460 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1926
2 or more units
10 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1926
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 10-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 460 14th Street in Mission Dolores, built in 1926 and currently owned by Donald Woo No 3 Fmly Lp, has undergone significant improvements and faced several challenges in recent years. A major focus has been fire safety upgrades, including the installation of new fire sprinklers (2017-2018), fire alarm system modifications (2019), and addressing multiple fire-related violations in 2021-2022 related to emergency exits, combustible storage, and fire escape maintenance. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 3) and received its Certificate of Final Completion. Unit improvements have been substantial, with several units (including #5, #6, #8, and a new in-law unit) receiving kitchen and bathroom remodels between 2015-2018, totaling hundreds of thousands in renovation costs.

The property experienced a cluster of building and fire safety violations in late 2021 through early 2022, all of which were abated by March 2022, including issues with fire escape ladders, smoke enclosure doors, light and ventilation, garbage storage, handrails, and various fire safety requirements. Earlier maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure, with sewer repairs and water line work completed in 2008 and 2017 respectively. Recent 311 calls (2023-2024) have primarily been related to graffiti, illegal postings, and general cleaning, suggesting ongoing exterior maintenance challenges. The building's documented history shows a pattern of proactive improvements, particularly in fire safety systems, though the frequency of violations in 2021-2022 raised temporary concerns about building maintenance practices.

Risk rating

How 460 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

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
10thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 719 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
