Rent & eviction protection

Is 1152 York 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.

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 two-unit, two-story residential building at 1152 York Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Francisco Ricardo Saenz, has a concerning history of maintenance issues dating back several years. In 2019, the property experienced significant problems that led to multiple violations filed in January 2019, including general dilapidation, water damage, electrical issues, plumbing problems, and safety concerns such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, all of which were officially addressed through a completed repair permit in February 2019 costing $1,585. More recently, in December 2022, the building experienced water intrusion issues affecting the first floor, with complaints about inoperative plumbing, mold, and a leaking ceiling originating from the attic, which were resolved by February 2023. Of particular concern was a complaint from May 2019 regarding an inaccessible emergency exit and absence of fire extinguishers. The building's maintenance history also includes historical issues with pests, as documented in 2011 with reports of debris and sanitation problems leading to rodent infestations affecting neighboring properties. While the most recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily focus on sidewalk cleaning and parking issues, indicating some level of ongoing maintenance attention, the building's documented history shows a pattern of water-related issues and safety concerns that have required intervention from housing inspection services over multiple years.

Risk rating

How 1152 York 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
20thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1904 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
