Rent & eviction protection

Is 274-276 San Carlos 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

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 property at 274-276 San Carlos Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Melissa Liao. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including the installation of a solar PV system in 2022, a new electrical panel upgrade to 200 amps in 2024 (currently in progress), and water heater replacement in 2023. Major renovations include a kitchen remodel in 2016-2018 (approximately $39,000 total) and roofing work in 2021 (approximately $12,500). The building's infrastructure has been consistently maintained, with multiple gas line installations and upgrades, including a kitchen renovation in 2014 and various plumbing improvements between 2008-2023.

Historical maintenance records show attention to both building and safety requirements, including compliance with the 3R inspection in 2009 and related electrical work. A concerning incident from 1996-1997 involved the building being temporarily abandoned, with security issues including broken windows and unauthorized occupants, though this was resolved in 1997. Recent activity in the vicinity has generated multiple 311 calls for street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance between 2023-2024, though most of these cases were resolved promptly. The property has maintained active upkeep through regular maintenance, though no significant building code violations or safety concerns have been recorded since the 1996-1997 period, indicating improved property management and maintenance standards under current ownership.

Risk rating

How 274-276 San Carlos 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
87thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 309 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
