Rent & eviction protection

Is 1864 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 before 1979
Built 1976
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1976
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 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1864 15th Street, owned by Artal Living Trust, was constructed in 1976 in the Mission Dolores neighborhood. The building's maintenance history shows two roofing projects, with one completed in 1988 and another initiated in 1996 but recorded as expired. The property has undergone several routine inspections and faced multiple safety-related violations, particularly in 2003 and 2022, including issues with fire safety systems, smoke enclosure doors, and gas utility shutoff requirements; however, all these violations were subsequently abated. More recent concerns include a 2021 complaint about construction noise and a 2020 routine safety inspection, both of which are no longer active.

Recent records from 2024 show various issues in the vicinity of the building, including multiple reports of garbage and debris on sidewalks, with the most recent complaint about graffiti on the residential building property in November 2024. There are also several 311 calls related to building maintenance issues, including a damaged sewer vent cover and reports of human waste on nearby sidewalks. Historical planning records indicate the property was involved in parking-related matters and a land acquisition for a mini-park program, and it was originally developed as an 8-apartment building over garage space with required permits. The building has not recorded any tenant buyouts to date, suggesting stability in tenancy under current ownership.

Risk rating

How 1864 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
27thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 583 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
