Rent & eviction protection

Is 1181 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

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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.

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-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 1181 York Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Frank S Duarte Lvg Tr, has undergone significant structural improvements in recent years. Most notably, in 2022, the building received substantial foundation work, including concrete fle replacement, structural strengthening, and pier replacement, with an associated cost of $17,000. Additional infrastructure upgrades were completed in late 2022, including replacement of the main drain pipe and installation of a new electrical outlet for the water heater. The building's electrical system received a major upgrade in 2015 with the installation of a new 200-amp service.

The property has a documented history of lead paint concerns, with multiple violations and complaints filed in 2006-2008 related to chipping paint and potential lead hazards, though these issues were officially abated by 2013. There have been recent maintenance issues noted through 311 calls, including a sidewalk defect in February 2023 involving unpermitted excavation, though this was resolved with a correction notice. The building's exterior maintenance has been periodically addressed, with a report of graffiti in 2019 and missing sewer vent cover in 2019 also being resolved. Recent 311 calls in 2023 have primarily concerned street cleaning matters and hazardous materials on the sidewalk, indicating ongoing general maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity. The building's most recent permits demonstrate active maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, particularly focusing on structural integrity and basic utilities.

Risk rating

How 1181 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
37thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1499 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
