Rent & eviction protection

Is 1064 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 1964

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 1964
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 12-unit, 1964 multi-family residential building at 1064 Dolores Street in Noe Valley, owned by 1064 Dolores I1 LLC, has undergone significant recent renovations and faced several compliance issues. Most notably, the building has been active in 2024 with termite mitigation work and exterior siding replacement in lightwells, though there have been recent complaints about unpermitted construction related to these works. The property completed its Tier 3 soft-story seismic retrofit work and received a certificate of final completion (CFC) status, with the most recent fire safety violations (including alarm system maintenance issues) being corrected between October and November 2023.

Recent improvements include the addition of two ADUs in 2020, multiple unit renovations (Units 6 and 12) converting dining spaces to bedrooms and upgrading kitchens/bathrooms, and various other systematic upgrades such as fire suppression system installation and solar panel installation in 2017. The building has experienced several fire safety inspections and corrections, including issues with exits, sprinkler systems, and alarm systems between 2018 and 2023, though recent inspections indicate corrections have generally been made. Historical records show some past interior maintenance issues, including mold/mildew concerns and electrical problems in 2014, which were subsequently addressed. The property has maintained its residential character with multiple unit modifications aimed at improving living conditions, though recent complaints suggest some ongoing concerns about compliance with permit requirements.

Risk rating

How 1064 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
