Rent & eviction protection

Is 76 Oakwood 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 1924

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

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 three-story multi-family residential building at 76 Oakwood Street in Mission Dolores, constructed in 1924, is a two-unit dwelling property that has undergone significant renovations in recent years. The most substantial development occurred in 2017, when a major project was completed adding a new ground-floor living unit featuring 1,425 square feet, including a kitchen, living/dining room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and laundry facilities, at a cost of $400,000. This renovation also included comprehensive updates to the upper unit with new windows, HVAC systems, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure, along with the installation of a 200-amp service upgrade and new water heating system with radiant heating throughout the building. The property has maintained its infrastructure with previous significant work including a complete interior kitchen remodel in 2007, replacement of windows, and water service upgrade in 2015.

Recent records show ongoing maintenance and some quality-of-life issues in the vicinity of the building, including multiple reports of garbage and debris on nearby streets in 2023-2024, and several parking enforcement requests for vehicles blocking driveways. Of particular note was a resident complaint in April 2022 regarding noise from construction work, though this issue was promptly abated within one day. The building's recent improvements have included the addition of shared amenities such as bicycle parking in the existing rear yard garage, though some maintenance issues have persisted in the surrounding area including vegetation growth and waste management concerns. The property has generally good compliance history with no significant safety violations or fire code issues on record, with only one fire complaint from 2006 that was determined to have no merit.

Risk rating

How 76 Oakwood 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
