Rent & eviction protection

Is 1305 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.

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.

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-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 1305 Utah St in San Francisco's Inner Mission, owned by Lorraine H Lin and constructed in 1965, has an extensive maintenance and inspection history revealing a pattern of attention to fire safety and maintenance issues. The building underwent significant work in the 1980s, including fire proofing repairs in 1985 following a Department of Building Inspection (DBI) report, and there were multiple reroofing projects in 1984 (cancelled), 1991 (expired), and 2011 (completed at a cost of $11,800). A notable cluster of violations was documented in June 2003, all of which were abated by July 24, 2003, including issues with fire extinguisher maintenance, combustible storage, gas utility shutoff tools, egress obstructions, lead paint concerns, and plumbing violations. A routine inspection in September 2008 also recorded a violation for fire extinguisher requirements, though this was resolved by November 2008.

Recent 311 calls from 2015 to 2024 primarily involved external issues such as sidewalk and curb defects, general street cleaning, and garbage concerns, with the most recent calls in 2024 focusing on sidewalk-related issues (one of which remains open). These external maintenance issues appear to be separate from the building's internal compliance history. The property's documented permit and violation history suggests ongoing attention to safety standards, particularly fire safety, though there have been periods requiring enforcement intervention to achieve compliance. The building's most recent major improvement was the 2011 reroofing project, which represents the last significant building-specific maintenance work on record.

Risk rating

How 1305 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
62ndpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 904 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
