Rent & eviction protection

Is 1300-1302 Rhode Island 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

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 property at 1300-1302 Rhode Island Street is a two-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by the Marky Lynn Quayle Living Trust. The building has experienced significant maintenance and compliance challenges over the past few years, with several concerning issues emerging between 2020 and 2024. Most recently, in October 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding blight, boarded-up windows, and a broken glass window pane, though these complaints were subsequently abated by December 2024. Between 2019 and 2020, there were serious concerns about unauthorized unit modifications, with allegations of illegal residential conversions of ground floor commercial space and partial demolition work, including unapproved construction following fire damage. The building has a documented history of permit-related issues, particularly regarding multiple expired permits and work completed without proper authorization between 1995 and 2002.

The property has also faced operational challenges, including being classified as a vacant building in 2020 and failing to comply with the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance in 2020. Planning records indicate ongoing efforts to resolve unauthorized units, with attempts to revert the building to its original two residential units and address fire damage. Recent maintenance issues have included multiple instances of garbage and debris concerns outside the building, as documented in 311 calls between 2023 and 2025. While the building has experienced various violations and complaints over its history, it's worth noting that many of these issues have been marked as "Not Active" or "Abated," indicating they have been addressed, though some concerns persist. The most recent building inspection in December 2024 resulted in several violations being abated, suggesting ongoing attention to code compliance.

Risk rating

How 1300-1302 Rhode Island 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
4thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 697 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
