Rent & eviction protection

Is 61 Fair Oaks 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.

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 two-unit residential building at 61 Fair Oaks St, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1910 and is currently owned by Julie H. Dilley and Thomas Foster. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in 2023 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with paint surfaces, weather proofing, window repairs, and stair safety. These violations, along with concerns about water damage and lead paint hazards, were all addressed and abated by September 27, 2023, with the most recent building permit (July 2023) specifically addressing rear stair repairs. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with completed work including foundation bolting in 1999 and dry rot repairs in 1985. A sewer mainline replacement was conducted in 2007, suggesting ongoing infrastructure maintenance.

Recent external reports from late 2023 indicate recurring sewage issues, with a notable incident of backup documented on October 20, 2023. The property has also generated several 311 calls over the years, primarily related to parking violations and street cleaning matters, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. The most pressing recent concerns involved various aspects of building maintenance, which have been addressed through compliance measures. The building's permit and violation history suggests active engagement with building code requirements, particularly regarding safety and structural concerns.

Risk rating

How 61 Fair Oaks 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
