Rent & eviction protection

Is 1931-1933 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 1905

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.

Built 1905
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 multi-family residential building at 1931-1933 15th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Geoffrey S. Huang and Hargett, has undergone significant safety and modernization improvements since 2020. Most notably, a comprehensive fire safety upgrade was completed between 2020 and 2023, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system with underground support for the 1st and 2nd floors, followed by a sprinkler monitoring system with control panel, wireless communicator, smoke detectors, and pull stations. The building underwent substantial renovations in 2020 (completed), including rear deck and stair replacement, addition infill, bathroom and bedroom suite modifications, and rear yard improvements with built-in seating. Earlier improvements from 2018 included complete electrical upgrades (200-amp service change, new wiring), heating system installation (two high-efficiency furnaces), and comprehensive plumbing updates for multiple bathrooms and laundry facilities.

The property experienced several permit-related complaints in 2016-2017, regarding unpermitted work and construction activity, which were ultimately resolved. Since the completion of major renovations, there have been no reported building complaints. A few minor fire alarm activations occurred between 2020-2023, all of which were determined to be false or unintentional, with no injuries reported. The most recent building work includes a re-roofing project permitted for 2024 valued at $23,200. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2025 primarily relate to parking enforcement issues regarding blocked driveways, with several citations issued, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. While these parking issues occur regularly, they relate to street use rather than building conditions or safety.

Risk rating

How 1931-1933 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
99thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 8 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
