Rent & eviction protection

Is 16-22 Dearborn 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.

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 1907
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 multi-family residential building at 16-22 Dearborn Street, owned by Brian D. & Suzanne Canevari, was constructed in 1907 and contains four units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring between 2019 and 2022. In 2019, there were multiple violations related to inadequate heating, including a notable incident involving an improperly installed water heater, which was finally resolved in May 2019 through proper repairs. The building faced water intrusion problems in January 2020, which required attention. Between 2021 and 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding lead paint concerns, window condition (including broken seals and dry rot), and interior surface maintenance, leading to various citations that were ultimately abated by May 2022.

Recent building improvements include the replacement of two windows in March 2023 and the installation of a new wall-mounted heater in February 2022, demonstrating some attention to modernization and repairs. Historical records show significant renovation work in 2005-2006, including structural upgrades, plumbing improvements, and basement modifications. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of deferred upkeep followed by remediation efforts, often in response to tenant complaints and code violations. The property has also experienced various environmental challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street cleanliness issues, including reports of human waste and medical waste near the property, though these external matters do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions.

Risk rating

How 16-22 Dearborn 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
4thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 767 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
