Rent & eviction protection

Is 295 Bartlett 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

295 Bartlett Street is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by the Salvador M Milan Trust. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in December 2023 (with electrical work continuing in 2024) to include new features such as monitoring radios, pulls on each level, smoke detectors in common areas, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping rooms, all in compliance with current fire safety codes. The building has a history of routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services dating back to 1999, with documented violations in 2001 and 2007 related to fire safety equipment, security features, and lead paint concerns, though all these violations were resolved by August 2001.

The property has undergone several electrical system upgrades, including a 400-amp new service installation in 2004, a 200-amp conversion, and a service upgrade in 2011, though some permits have expired. A notable planning issue arose in 2017-2018 regarding unauthorized office use and window modifications, though this appears to have been addressed. The building's fire incident history shows a single recorded building fire with unintentional ignition, though no civilian injuries were reported. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily concern external issues such as garbage, parking, and encampments in the vicinity, rather than building-specific problems. The property's maintenance record suggests ongoing attention to safety systems, with the most recent major work being the current fire alarm system upgrade, which represents a significant investment in building safety infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 295 Bartlett 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
35thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1547 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
