Rent & eviction protection

Is 1802-1806 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.

Built 1924

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.

Built 1924
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-story multi-family residential building at 1802-1806 15th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Dabai Family Trust, was constructed in 1924 and contains 4 apartment units. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including window replacements in 2005 (valued at $3,500), rear steps repairs in 2004 (completed for $300), and a roofing project from 2001 (estimated at $9,000). More recently, in 2024, plumbing work was completed to remove and repair a sink. The property has experienced notable violations, particularly in 2003-2004, when multiple safety and maintenance issues were identified and subsequently abated by November 2004, including fire safety concerns, security requirements, and building maintenance needs. A series of plumbing-related complaints emerged in early 2024 regarding improper sink installation and equipment placement, which were addressed by February 2024.

The building's recent history shows some ongoing challenges, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025 primarily related to parking enforcement and street cleaning issues, including reports of graffiti and garbage/debris on the property. There was also a historical complaint in 2005 regarding unpermitted window installation, which was resolved. The property is currently associated with Spotlite Market, which has undergone recent changes including plumbing modifications and ABC license continuation processing in 2024. A street space permit was issued in 2016, though the specific purpose and status of this permit are not detailed in the records. The building's overall maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, though some recent issues related to parking and street maintenance have been recurring concerns.

Risk rating

How 1802-1806 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
29thpercentile
