Rent & eviction protection

Is 1119 Castro 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 1900

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1900
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 property at 1119 Castro Street in Noe Valley is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Lockwood-dezela Lvg Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial being a comprehensive window and door replacement project in July 2023 ($132,573), which included the installation of 19 windows and 2 sliding doors with improved energy efficiency ratings. More recent improvements include deck and stair repairs completed in April 2024, with a re-roofing project currently permitted for September 2024 at a cost of $23,800, and a gas furnace replacement scheduled for November 2024. The building has received substantial maintenance attention over the years, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling (1997), foundation replacement (1997), and electrical upgrades including the installation of a solar PV system in 2009.

Notable historical issues include three housing complaints in January 1998 regarding possible improper asbestos removal, though these were promptly addressed and marked as not active. The property underwent significant conversion work in 1998, including a horizontal addition attempt (which expired) and a successful merging of existing upstairs living spaces into one unit. More recent maintenance concerns include a collapsed sidewalk issue reported in 2021 (currently open) and two utility wire concerns in 2017 that were addressed through proper channels. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to systems and structures, with particular attention to energy-efficient upgrades and safety improvements.

Risk rating

How 1119 Castro 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
94thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 113 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.
