Rent & eviction protection

Is 1030-1034 Valencia 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 1905

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 1905
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, three-story building at 1030-1034 Valencia Street, constructed in 1905, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades. Most recently, in 2016, there was a series of improvements including the installation of electrical fixtures (lights, switches, and plugs), a ground floor interior remodel (including bathroom work, new drywall, and asbestos flooring removal), and the placement of two screws for flag mounting, with a total cost of approximately $15,700 for these three projects. A notable safety concern was addressed in 2011 when repairs were made to the front residential stairway, which had been the subject of tenant complaints about inconsistent riser heights and safety issues. The building has experienced two major complaint incidents on record: in 2011 regarding unsafe front stairs, and in 2016 concerning unauthorized remodeling work, including garage demolition and early morning jack hammering.

The property has maintained regular upkeep over the years, with earlier improvements including siding installation in 2003 ($1,500) and stair repairs in 1986. More recent maintenance issues have primarily involved external factors, with multiple reports of graffiti (most recently in December 2023) and street cleaning concerns. The building's store space has undergone various permitted changes, including sign installations and tenant improvements, with one notable disapproved planning application in 2023 for a proposed Limited Live Performance use. The property has generally complied with building violations when issued, with the most recent complaint from 2016 being officially abated in 2017. Recent maintenance calls in 2023-2024 have primarily focused on exterior graphics and waste management rather than structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1030-1034 Valencia 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
12thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1125 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
