Rent & eviction protection

Is 1150-1152 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 1906

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 1150-1152 Valencia Street, built in 1906, contains 7 units and has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofits in 2018-2020, addressing soft-story vulnerabilities with steel moment frames and other structural improvements. The property has experienced periodic maintenance and safety issues, including electrical concerns with two small outlet fires in 2016, a malfunctioning CO detector, and a smoke detector activation, though no civilian injuries were reported in these incidents. There was also a period of heating system violations in 2006-2007 when unauthorized heater installations occurred in apartment #3, along with various maintenance issues such as plumbing problems, mold, and water damage complaints in 2007-2009.

Recent history shows ongoing maintenance efforts, including a siding replacement project in 2020, and the building has achieved compliance with current seismic safety requirements as a Tier 4 soft-story retrofit property. The commercial portion of the building (Sugoi Sushi) experienced a vacant storefront violation in 2022 that was resolved in 2023. While there have been multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding various issues including garbage, parking violations, and sidewalk problems, these appear to be general neighborhood issues rather than building-specific concerns. The property is currently in compliance with all major safety requirements, though there is one open case regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk from July 2024.

Risk rating

How 1150-1152 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 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2094 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
