Rent & eviction protection

Is 1266-1270 Vermont 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 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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 1266-1270 Vermont Street in the Inner Mission, owned by the Lisa Roth Revocable Trust, has a construction history dating back to 1900. Most recently, in early 2024, the building underwent solar panel installations, with multiple permits issued for a 3.2 kW solar PV system installation, demonstrating the property's commitment to renewable energy. However, there are concerning ongoing infrastructure issues, particularly an active complaint from November 2024 regarding a defective/broken house trap/sanitary sewer that has been identified as a health hazard. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including bathroom window upgrades in 2015, comprehensive kitchen and bath remodeling in 2014, and a complete reroofing in 2008.

The building has faced multiple safety and maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to its paint conditions, as evidenced by a 2022 violation regarding lead paint concerns that was abated by October 2022. Historical violations from 2003 included various safety requirements such as fire extinguisher provisions and security improvements, though these were also marked as abated. There have been recent complaints in late 2023 regarding potentially unpermitted electrical work, solar installations, and sidewalk blockages, though these cases are now marked as not active. Numerous 311 calls in late 2024 have been related to sidewalk blockages by construction equipment, indicating potential issues with construction management and its impact on the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 1266-1270 Vermont 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
14thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2047 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
