Rent & eviction protection

Is 473-475 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 before 1979
Built 1880

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 1880
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 473-475 Duboce Avenue in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, owned by the Macaulay Family Trust, is an 1880 single-story flats/duplex structure. The property's maintenance record shows two significant permitted works, including a completed sewer line replacement in July 2017. A concerning incident occurred in November 2021, when a high-voltage Tesla cable was reported emanating from a crack in the garage door, though this complaint is currently listed as not active with the Electrical Inspection Division.

The property has been the subject of numerous 311 calls filed by the public between 2023 and 2024, primarily regarding street cleaning issues, including reports of human waste, loose garbage, and graffiti. There has been a notable pattern of parking violations in the vicinity, particularly related to driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued for various vehicles between April 22, 2024, and February 7, 2024. Street cleaning concerns were documented throughout 2024, including the removal of general garbage and debris. An abandoned vehicle was reported in October 2023, though this was subsequently identified as stolen and transferred to SFPD jurisdiction. While the historical record shows attention to necessary infrastructure maintenance, the recent pattern of parking violations and street cleaning issues may be of particular interest to current and prospective tenants regarding their immediate surroundings.

Risk rating

How 473-475 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
90thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 29 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
