Rent & eviction protection

Is 1175 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 1906
2 or more units

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.

Built 1906
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 1175 York Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Robert Leslie Brockbank, has undergone significant renovations and faced various safety and maintenance issues since its 1906 construction. Most notably, in 2014-2019, the building rectified numerous violations related to safety concerns, including repairs to stairs, handrails, weatherproofing, siding, electrical systems, and plumbing. In 2020, substantial improvements were made including a new deck and exit stair, reroofing, siding replacement, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and comprehensive electrical upgrades to 200 amps with separate meters for each unit. The building's legal status as a two-unit structure was established in 2003, following prior complaints about unauthorized modifications.

Recent maintenance history shows consistent attention to building upkeep, with multiple completed permits for various improvements and repairs. There were some resident complaints in 2020 regarding construction practices and worker safety during the pandemic, as well as historical issues with mold, water damage, and tenants' modification of a back room in 2018. Multiple 311 calls from 2021-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning matters near the property. The building underwent significant remediation work in response to past violations, including addressing electrical system concerns, plumbing upgrades, and structural improvements, with all recent building permits listed as complete.

Risk rating

How 1175 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
61stpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 928 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
