Rent & eviction protection

Is 1324 Mariposa 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 1903
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH3
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 1903
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 1324 Mariposa Street in Potrero Hill, owned by John Ward and Lisa Martens, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1903. The property has experienced a notable number of municipal service calls over the past year, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports related to street cleaning and garbage management. Between April and July 2024, there were several incidents requiring attention to loose garbage on the street, with three specific calls for General Cleaning on April 15, 2024, and similar reports in July. There are currently two open encampment-related cases from April 2024, indicating ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity. The property has also faced some sanitation enforcement issues, as evidenced by a report in August 2023 regarding garbage receptacles (toters) being left out continuously, which resulted in outreach and enforcement actions.

The building's parking situation is currently under scrutiny, with a planning record showing a submitted complaint regarding parking without a garage in the front yard, though no developer is listed in the records. Additionally, there was a parking enforcement call in March 2023 regarding a vehicle blocking a driveway, though the responding officer was unable to locate the vehicle. While the building's structural and safety records appear stable with no major incidents reported, the surrounding area has experienced persistent street cleaning and encampment management challenges, with more recent 311 calls primarily related to public space maintenance rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 1324 Mariposa 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
78thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 160 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
