Rent & eviction protection

Is 814-818 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 1906
2 or more units

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 1906
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 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 814-818 14th Street in Duboce Triangle, built in 1906 and currently owned by Alice Dudum Survivor's Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades in recent years. In 2020, all six apartments received new electrical panels to replace outdated Federal Pacific equipment, following earlier improvements including a 2019 roof replacement and a 2018 voluntary fire alarm upgrade that installed a new panel and low-frequency horns throughout the property. The building completed a mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit in 2011, enhancing its structural integrity.

The property experienced notable violations in 2021-2022, primarily related to fire safety and maintenance issues. These included problems with the fire escape ladder, fire proofing materials, and interior/exterior paint conditions that raised lead hazard concerns. During this period, there was also a significant complaint filed in April 2022 regarding the garage being used for commercial storage, resulting in increased noise and congestion, though this issue appears to have been resolved. Additional maintenance work has included addressing garbage receptacle placement and various security and access issues, all of which were abated by July 2022. While the building has had routine inspections and multiple improvement projects over the years, the most pressing recent concerns were primarily focused on fire safety systems and general maintenance compliance. The property has maintained a record of addressing violations and completing necessary upgrades, including a historical reroofing project from 1989, though more recent permits and work indicate ongoing attention to building systems and safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 814-818 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
2ndpercentile
