Rent & eviction protection

Is 25 Sharon 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 1968

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

The two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 25 Sharon Street, owned by Nicolas Pelosi, has undergone significant safety improvements in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 as a Tier 3 building, which was officially completed with Certificate of Final Completion issued. The building has had building permit activity including a street space permit in 2019 and a revision regarding cantilevered columns' locations in early 2019. A concerning series of building violations was recorded in October 2006, including issues with lead paint hazards, security concerns (malfunctioning door lock and basement corridor deadbolt), damaged ceilings, and various other maintenance needs such as ventilation for the dryer and garbage area conditions, though these were all abated by November 2006. More recent building issues include a front door lock malfunction in 2023, which was resolved within weeks, and field observations in 2006 regarding peeling paint affecting adjacent properties.

The property has maintained a relatively clean safety record in recent years, with only one minor fire-related incident recorded in 2009 involving a system malfunction that was quickly corrected. Routine inspections have been conducted, including a prescheduled one in 2011, and the building underwent significant earthquake safety improvements through the completed soft-story retrofit program. The surrounding area has experienced various municipal service calls, mostly relating to parking enforcement and street maintenance issues, though these are not directly related to building safety or conditions. Recent 311 calls from 2023 through 2024 primarily involve street-level issues such as garbage, parking violations, and infrastructure concerns, suggesting general neighborhood maintenance activities rather than specific building problems.

Risk rating

How 25 Sharon 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
57thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 550 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
