Rent & eviction protection

Is 115-119 Duboce 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 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.

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

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 115-119 Duboce Avenue, owned by Louie Kelvin & Genevieve Rev, was constructed in 1908 and is classified as an Apartment building with 5 to 14 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing mandatory seismic retrofitting as a Tier 3 soft-story building in 2016 at a cost of $70,000. Other significant maintenance work includes a roofing project completed in 2009 and construction of a rear yard deck area in 2003.

The building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over its history. A notable cluster of violations occurred in 2003 related to the rear stairs, including deteriorated members and improper storage of garbage containers, though these were abated by January 2004. More recent concerns include a mold complaint from 2016 and a broken window reported in June 2024. The building's history also shows periodic inspections and routine safety checks, with the most serious past complaint from 1999 citing multiple issues including leaks, electrical problems, and wood rot. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2019 and 2024 regarding sidewalk cleanliness, waste management, and environmental health concerns, though these were primarily street-level issues rather than direct building problems. The property has experienced two fire department responses, one for a natural gas leak that was resolved without civilian injuries, and another incident where no problem was found upon arrival.

Risk rating

How 115-119 Duboce 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
34thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 527 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
