Rent & eviction protection

Is 460 South Van Ness Ave 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 1926

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.

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

460 South Van Ness Avenue is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Tim Carrico 2020 Revoc Tr. The building has undergone numerous renovations over the years, with recent significant work including a $62,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit #11 (2024), completion of previously approved soft-story retrofit work (2022), and multiple unit renovations between 2012-2017 encompassing kitchen and bathroom updates, electrical rewiring, and plumbing improvements. The building's soft-story retrofit program was completed with a Certificate of Final Completion issued, though there was a period of non-compliance that resulted in a violation notice in October 2022, which was eventually resolved by February 2024.

The property has experienced various maintenance and habitability issues over the past decade, including multiple complaints in 2015 regarding heat, bed bugs, flooring, and paint concerns, as well as a fire safety inspection in 2011 that identified damaged fireproofing in the garage. Recent fire safety violations from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements remain open but were noted as "Condition Corrected" as of December 2024. The building underwent a rooftop replacement in 2009, and subsequent improvements have focused on individual unit renovations and systems upgrades. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved routine maintenance and response to resident concerns, with multiple parking enforcement calls in late 2024 regarding driveway blocking issues.

Risk rating

How 460 South Van Ness Ave'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
6thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2237 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
