Rent & eviction protection

Is 1105 Wisconsin 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 1920

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 1920
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 property at 1105 Wisconsin St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill and owned by Stephen Mark Griffith. Built in 1920, this Class D building has experienced several maintenance issues and safety incidents over its history. Notably, there have been two building fires recorded, one of which resulted in two civilian injuries, as well as multiple gas leak incidents and a HazMat investigation, though no actual hazardous materials were found. The building has undergone various repair work, particularly in 2017 when exterior stairs were repaired and replaced in two separate projects costing $2,500 total, along with a filed permit for adding a porch overhang. Earlier maintenance included deck repairs in 2003 to address dry rot issues.

Recent months have seen a concerning pattern of garbage and debris issues, with ten separate reports of overflowing city garbage cans recorded between October 2024 and January 2025, all of which have been resolved. The property has also experienced some parking enforcement issues, with one report currently open as of January 2025. The building's structural maintenance history shows attention to exterior elements, particularly regarding stairways and decks, while the multiple fire and safety incidents indicate past challenges with building safety systems. The most recent building permits suggest ongoing maintenance attention, though the age of the building and its documented history of structural repairs points to potential ongoing maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 1105 Wisconsin 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
57thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 312 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
