Rent & eviction protection

Is 1982-1986 15Th 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.

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.

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, three-story multi-family residential building at 1982-1986 15th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Trina Leialoha Step Robbins and constructed in 1905, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety compliance efforts over recent years. Most notably, the building faced a serious compliance issue in July 2021 when multiple fire safety violations were identified, including the need for handrails, fire extinguisher maintenance, and egress obstruction removal. These violations, along with several other safety concerns such as electrical outlet repairs and gas meter instructions, were addressed and officially abated by April 2023, with the installation of exterior back stairs railings completed in August 2022 at a cost of $400.

The property has a history of regular maintenance and improvements, including a reroofing project in 2010 costing $7,000 and repairs to address dry rot in stairs and roof access ladder in 2002. The building's recent history includes multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning, garbage, and encampment issues near the property, particularly during 2021-2022, along with reports of graffiti and illegal postings. A tenant buyout occurred in August 2019 for $46,500 involving one tenant at the adjacent address of 1980 15th Street. The building has undergone several routine housing inspections over the years (2002, 2010, and most recently in 2021), indicating regular governmental oversight of the property's condition and safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 1982-1986 15Th 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
28thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 575 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
