Rent & eviction protection

Is 1405-1415 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 1906
2 or more units

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 1906
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 building at 1405-1415 15th Street in the Inner Mission is a two-story, six-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1906, currently owned by Pugeda Fmly Tr. The property has undergone significant improvements and modifications over the past several years, with the most notable being a series of seismic upgrades completed in 2017 (valued at $62,000) to address its non-compliant soft-story status, followed by the installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2020. In 2017-2019, the building underwent substantial unit modifications, including the addition of a new ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) and the legalization of an existing unit, as well as comprehensive renovations to multiple units including kitchen and bathroom updates.

The building's history also includes several notable code compliance issues, particularly regarding the Soft Story Retrofit Program, which generated a violation notice in 2018 that was not resolved until October 2022. There were multiple building complaints in 2008-2011 related to unauthorized construction work, permit expirations, and health/safety concerns, though these have all been resolved. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved exterior concerns such as graffiti and sidewalk cleanliness, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2023. The property has shown ongoing investment in safety systems, with recent fire safety upgrades including new fire alarms for the sprinkler monitoring system in 2020-2021, though it is worth noting that it remains classified as Non-Compliant under the Soft Story program.

Risk rating

How 1405-1415 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.
