Rent & eviction protection

Is 469-479 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 1910

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 1910
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 10-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 469-479 Dolores Street, owned by the Storseter Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades since its construction in 1910. Most notably, the building completed a soft-story retrofit in 2023 (at a cost of $70,000), bringing it into compliance with current seismic safety requirements. The property has a documented history of addressing fire safety concerns, with a fire alarm system replacement filed in February 2024 to meet updated fire code requirements, and multiple fire safety inspections revealing issues such as a sprinkler service violation (abated December 2023) and various fire safety complaints that have generally been resolved. The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, as evidenced by an active complaint from February 2023 regarding peeling paint and a malfunctioning fire alarm panel, though many past issues have been addressed including a sewer line repair in 2014, reroofing in 2011, and electrical system upgrades.

The property had a notable cluster of building code violations in late 2002 that were all addressed by December 2004, including issues with fire proofing, fire escape maintenance, and security requirements. Recent infrastructure improvements include documented fire safety equipment upgrades and the completion of the soft-story program compliance. While there have been periodic tenant complaints over the years regarding various maintenance issues (including heating problems in 2011 and plumbing concerns in 2007), most have been resolved, often within a short timeframe. The building's fire safety record shows regular attention to maintaining required systems, though instances of equipment-related complaints have occurred. The property has also faced some recent issues with garbage and debris management in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024.

Risk rating

How 469-479 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
9thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 727 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
