Rent & eviction protection

Is 1021-1023 Dolores 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 1932

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 1932
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 1021-1023 Dolores Street in Noe Valley is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1932, currently owned by Fishbone Partners LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2016 when a concrete foundation cap was added to raise the foundation above ground level, including reinforcement around the front main stairs at a cost of $8,372. Other notable infrastructure updates include a 2004 installation of a 200-amp underground electrical service by PG&E. However, there have also been some concerning issues, particularly a documented electrical wiring and fire hazard complaint filed with Housing Inspection Services in March 2019 that remains listed as "Not Active."

The building's recent maintenance history shows a pattern of various municipal service calls, particularly in late 2023 when there were two sewer-related incidents involving flooding and other issues. The property has experienced several environmental and maintenance challenges, including sidewalk cleanliness concerns, litter management, and hazardous materials incidents between 2019 and 2024. Infrastructure maintenance has been a focus over the years, with records showing work such as sidewalk repair (2000), roofing work (1992), and a documented missing side sewer vent cover (2021) that was subsequently resolved. The building's parking situation has generated multiple enforcement actions, with at least three documented incidents of vehicles blocking driveways between 2019 and 2024, resulting in citations. The property appears to require ongoing attention to both structural maintenance and environmental cleanliness, as evidenced by the number of 311 calls related to various maintenance issues over the past few years.

Risk rating

How 1021-1023 Dolores 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
18thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1541 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
