Rent & eviction protection

Is 1357 Utah 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 1962

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 1962
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 residential building at 1357 Utah Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Scott and Yolanda Davis, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1962. The most recent major infrastructure work occurred in August 2023, when the building underwent an important electrical upgrade, replacing hazardous Federal Pacific panels with safer Cutler-Hammer (Eaton) systems and implementing new grounding and bonding systems. This followed a documented history of electrical concerns, as evidenced by a 2000 complaint about bad electrical outlets. The building has a documented history of maintenance violations in the 1990s, including a 1994 Housing Inspection Services complaint about mold, mildew, and heating problems, though many of these issues were addressed with permits in 1995. More recent concerns have primarily focused on the building's immediate surroundings, with multiple reports between 2020-2024 regarding sidewalk cleaning, blocked sidewalks, and waste issues, though these are external to the building itself.

The property's history includes several concerning habitability issues in the 1990s, such as a complaint in 1994 about rotting stairs and deck, plumbing leaks, and potential illegal unit concerns, as well as multiple reports of heating problems and mildew. While these historical maintenance issues were addressed through various permits and inspections, including a permit from 1995 to convert an illegal unit back to storage, the building's recent electrical panel upgrade in 2023 suggests ongoing infrastructure maintenance continues to be necessary. The most recent complaint from April 2024 regarding offensive graffiti on the building remains open as of now, marking the first recorded exterior maintenance issue in recent years. While the building has shown improvements in recent years with the electrical system upgrade, the historical record indicates careful monitoring of both building systems and surrounding area conditions is warranted.

Risk rating

How 1357 Utah 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
67thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 785 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
