Rent & eviction protection

Is 1102-1106 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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 1102-1106 Tennessee Street, owned by Takagi Eoi, has a documented history dating back to 1900 with several significant events. The property experienced a fire incident in 1990 that required debris removal and plaster repair, after which a horizontal addition was planned (though this permit expired) and a fire sprinkler system was intended to be installed (also expired). The building underwent notable repairs in 2008, addressing dry-rot issues with the back stairs, and in 2017 for deck repairs, demonstrating ongoing maintenance attention. A comprehensive set of building code violations was documented in July 2007, including issues with ventilation, stairs, and security features, which were all successfully abated by February 2008 through appropriate modifications, including the installation of air vents on basement doors and various security improvements.

Recent activity at the property has been limited primarily to parking enforcement matters, with numerous reports of driveway blocking between 2017 and 2024, indicating a recurring issue with parking compliance in the vicinity. The most recent building-related service was a city garbage can overflow complaint in 2017. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep of structural elements, though the 1990 fire incident and subsequent repairs may indicate some past vulnerabilities. The building has demonstrated compliance with building codes following the 2007 violations, with no recent active violations on record. The most recent building-related issues have primarily involved parking enforcement rather than structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1102-1106 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
41stpercentile

Out of 74 buildings in this neighborhood, 44 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
