Rent & eviction protection

Is 35-39 Prosper 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

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 residential building at 35-39 Prosper Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by the Liu Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and experienced consistent maintenance attention since its construction in 1900. The most recent major work occurred in 2021, involving bathroom remodeling and dry rot repairs costing $14,900. Prior improvements include a substantial ground floor renovation in 2013 ($90,000) that encompassed kitchen and bathroom remodeling, foundation work, and structural strengthening, along with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades. A notable plumbing complaint regarding sewage backflow into a shower was filed in September 2021, though this issue was marked as not active.

Historical records from 2002 show multiple housing code violations related to stairs, garbage disposal, and fire safety, all of which were abated by August 2002. The building's maintenance history reveals attention to critical infrastructure, including attempts to upgrade rear stairways in 2011 (though these permits expired) and previous plumbing work in 2013. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily concern street cleaning issues, including reports of garbage and debris, though these are more related to external conditions rather than building-specific problems. The property has undergone regular inspections and permitted improvements, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by the ownership.

Risk rating

How 35-39 Prosper 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
33rdpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 856 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.
