Rent & eviction protection

Is 100-110 Shotwell 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 1900
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 100-110 Shotwell Street in the Inner Mission, built in 1900, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple challenges over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory $160,000 soft-story retrofit in 2018, achieving Tier 4 compliance, though an attempted subsequent ADU conversion project in 2020 was cancelled. The property has a history of unit improvements, including bathroom and kitchen remodels in various units between 2002 and 2017, along with multiple electrical upgrades during the same periods. Several building violations were recorded in 2011-2012, including fire safety issues, maintenance concerns, and security requirements, all of which were abated by January 2013.

The property experienced multiple tenant-related issues between 2011 and 2012, including unauthorized garage conversions, plumbing work without permits, and various maintenance problems such as water leaks and fire escape concerns. More recent concerns have included complaints about a vacant unit's lights being left on (August 2020) and reports of unauthorized garage usage for woodworking purposes (June 2020). Building maintenance and safety systems have been addressed through various permits, including fireproofing repairs in 2012 and routine health and safety inspections. The building's recent history (2023-2024) shows ongoing exterior management challenges, as evidenced by multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, though these recent complaints are primarily related to exterior maintenance rather than building systems or tenant issues. A tree maintenance issue was reported as of December 2024, and there were multiple parking enforcement calls in late 2024, indicating ongoing challenges with parking management around the property.

Risk rating

How 100-110 Shotwell 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
21stpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1880 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
