Rent & eviction protection

Is 515-519 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 1900
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1900
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-unit residential building at 515-519 Duboce Avenue in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, owned by Supratik Lahiri and constructed in 1900, has undergone substantial improvements and renovations over recent years, with significant attention to modernization and safety upgrades. Most recently, in February 2023, the property received new shower installations and water heater upgrades across all three units. In late 2022, the building enhanced its safety features with a comprehensive expansion of the fire sprinkler system, adding 36 new sprinklers and relocating existing ones at a cost of $20,000. The building underwent major interior renovations in 2021, including kitchen and bathroom relocations, window enlargements, and electrical upgrades, followed by the installation of three Tesla Powerwall units and solar panels in 2023 with an investment of $28,000, demonstrating commitment to sustainability.

The property has seen consistent infrastructure improvements, including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2022, installation of new heat pump systems, and comprehensive plumbing updates. Earlier maintenance addressed structural issues, such as dry rot repairs completed in 2022, and the building's fire safety systems have been systematically improved since 2014, when a new fire sprinkler system was first installed. The building's management has maintained a proactive approach to maintenance and upgrades, with all recent permits showing proper completion status. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding parking enforcement and illegal postings in the vicinity of the building between 2020 and 2024, these are external to the property itself and have been appropriately resolved through municipal channels.

Risk rating

How 515-519 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
88thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 34 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

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

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.
