Rent & eviction protection

Is 1078-1080 Tennessee 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 property at 1078-1080 Tennessee Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Annette Marie Carrier Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major renovations occurring between 2021-2022, including a comprehensive kitchen remodel (completed in September 2021, costing $13,000) with associated electrical and plumbing work, installation of a direct vent gas fireplace, and replacement of the sewer lateral. Prior maintenance records show attention to structural elements, including reroofing projects in 2016 ($9,500) and 2000 ($5,000), and repairs to back stair landings in 2013 ($5,000). A new spiral stair was added to the rear of the building in 1996.

Recent resident concerns have primarily focused on parking issues, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways between 2021-2024, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. The property has also experienced some infrastructure challenges, including pavement defects reported in 2023 and 2020, and a damaged tree incident reported in February 2024. The building's maintenance history demonstrates regular upkeep of essential systems, including a furnace flue replacement in 2018, and various plumbing updates to modernize the facility. The property's planning records indicate completion of asphalt roofing replacement to match the existing flat roof configuration.

Risk rating

How 1078-1080 Tennessee 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
74thpercentile

Out of 74 buildings in this neighborhood, 19 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
