Rent & eviction protection

Is 966-968 Minnesota 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
2 or more units

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 966-968 Minnesota Street property is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Yu/Woods Family Trust. This building, classified as Flats & Duplex, has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past decades. Most notably, in 2018 the property underwent a substantial remodeling project costing $40,000 that included infilling enclosed spaces at all levels, along with comprehensive electrical (new lighting, switches, and kitchen appliance installations) and plumbing work (kitchen gas and water outlet relocations). The building has a documented history of addressing dry rot issues, with repairs performed in 2017, 2002, and a notable repair from 1994 that attempted to address recurring moisture problems. Other maintenance records show ongoing attention to building safety, including front stairway tread repairs in 2015.

The property has had various infrastructure upgrades, including a 200-amp electrical service upgrade in 2005 and lighting improvements in 2006. External to the building itself, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property's surroundings, primarily focusing on tree maintenance issues (including a damaged tree in 2023), street cleaning needs, and occasional parking concerns. Planning records confirm the completion of major remodeling work and necessary repairs, with proper approvals obtained for all significant modifications. Recent building activities suggest regular maintenance and upgrading of living conditions, with particular attention to electrical and structural systems, though historical patterns indicate some recurring moisture-related challenges that have been addressed through multiple repair attempts.

Risk rating

How 966-968 Minnesota 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
77thpercentile

Out of 74 buildings in this neighborhood, 17 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
