Rent & eviction protection

Is 25 Sanchez 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 1972
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1972
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 90-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 25 Sanchez Street in Duboce Triangle, built in 1972 and currently owned by 25 Sanchez Housing Associates, has experienced significant infrastructure and maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, there are several active building violations from December 2018 that remain unresolved, including issues with plumbing (faucet repairs and leaks), window repairs, and common area access. The building has also faced recent maintenance concerns, with complaints in 2023-2024 regarding unsanitary living conditions, plumbing issues, and rat infestation. The property has a recurring pattern of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations and complaints between 2023-2024 relating to alarm systems, sprinklers, and sleeping area requirements, though some of these have been subsequently abated.

Recent infrastructure upgrades include the installation of new fire alarm system components, with the most recent work completed in June 2024 costing over $12,500. The building underwent significant improvements in 2016-2017, including electrical system upgrades, the addition of fire sprinklers, and the replacement of two boilers. Several complaints regarding boiler permits in early 2023 were resolved in 2023-2024, though the building has experienced multiple fire alarm system-related violations between 2023-2024. Additionally, recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing issues with garbage and debris, parking violations, and reports of rodent infestation. While the building has implemented various improvements over the years, the persistent nature of these violations and complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the property.

Risk rating

How 25 Sanchez 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 287 are predicted to be safer.

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 location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 5.7%
Moderate concern 31.1%
Severe concern 63.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
