Rent & eviction protection

Is 912 Alabama 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

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.

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 two-unit residential building at 912 Alabama Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district is a two-story flats and duplex structure owned by Santiago Jerome Clyde Sr and constructed in 1900. The only major building improvement on record was completed in 1983 when repairs were made to the porch and laundry room. More recently, from 2022 to the present, there have been multiple incidents requiring parking enforcement attention, with seven documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks between February 2024 and March 2022, resulting in at least four citations being issued, though some vehicles were not located by enforcement officers. Additionally, there were two street cleaning incidents in January 2023 involving the pickup of a Christmas tree and other loose garbage, and a tree maintenance case in April 2022 related to damaged vandalism that was ultimately cancelled. The concentration of parking-related issues, particularly in 2024, suggests ongoing challenges with vehicle management in the immediate vicinity, though these incidents primarily involve public street use rather than the building's direct facilities.

Risk rating

How 912 Alabama 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
90thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 238 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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
