Rent & eviction protection

Is 260-264 Dolores 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

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-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 260-264 Dolores Street, built in 1900 and currently owned by Edward Litke Revocable Trust 1995, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over its history. Most recently, in July 2023, the property completed a substantial interior upgrade including bathroom and kitchen remodels, complete rewiring, and plumbing improvements at a cost of $84,000. Prior improvements include window replacements in 2009, roofing work in 2005, and various stair repairs. The building has experienced notable maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly in 2004 when multiple violations were documented regarding water damage, stair safety, window performance, and lighting requirements, though many of these issues appear to have been addressed in subsequent years. The property has also faced issues related to unauthorized commercial use, with complaints in 2011 and 2005 regarding the operation of a business (Wellness 264 Center) offering cooking classes and other activities causing noise disturbances, though these complaints were ultimately resolved. Multiple fire incidents have been recorded at the property, including a short circuit heat incident, cooking fire, and an unintentional building fire, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent patterns in 2024 show recurring issues with parking violations and sidewalk encampments in the vicinity of the property, though these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 260-264 Dolores 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
75thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 200 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
