Rent & eviction protection

Is 1326-1328 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 1978

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 property at 1326-1328 Utah Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1978, currently owned by Lai Lynn. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with major work occurring between 2016-2019 including comprehensive unit remodels of kitchens and bathrooms, structural modifications (including beam and post installations), and window replacements. A concerning pattern emerged in 2018-2019 regarding potentially unauthorized unit modifications, with complaints about unpermitted units and work beyond the scope of permitted renovations. Multiple building permits were withdrawn or required administrative corrections during this period, suggesting some irregularities in the permit process.

Historically, in 2003, the building faced several fire safety and security violations that were subsequently resolved, including issues with hollow core doors, self-closing devices on exterior doors, smoke detectors, and egress obstruction. More recent issues have included fire extinguisher violations in 2017-2021, though these were corrected. The building has been subject to regular maintenance and upgrades, with substantial investment in unit renovations totaling over $100,000 in 2016-2018. During late 2024, there has been a notable pattern of parking enforcement actions recorded near the property, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking violations. The property underwent a tenant buyout process in 2017-2018, affecting four tenants and totaling $106,000 in compensation.

Risk rating

How 1326-1328 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
51stpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1166 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
