Rent & eviction protection

Is 20-50 Beatrice Ln 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 1978
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.

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 58-unit, two-story apartment complex at 20-50 Beatrice Lane in Bayview, currently owned by Shoreview Preservation LP, has undergone significant renovation activity in recent months, with substantial interior remodeling projects filed for multiple units in January 2025. These permits cover units 5-15 and 17-25 Matthew Court, including kitchen and bathroom updates with an estimated cost of $325,000 per project. Earlier renovation work completed in late 2024 included plumbing and electrical upgrades across units 1-6, with replacement of furnaces, plumbing fixtures, water heaters, and lighting systems.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, with an active complaint from January 2025 reporting problems with no heat, pests, and mold. Earlier complaints from 2023-2024 documented various issues including leaks, water damage, fire incidents, and electrical concerns. Historical records show past violations related to heating systems, sanitation, and interior surfaces, though these were ultimately abated by November 2004. The property has completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program and received a Certificate of Final Completion. Recent building permits and maintenance records suggest ongoing investment in improving the property, though the frequency and nature of recent complaints indicate persistent maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 20-50 Beatrice Ln'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
1stpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 378 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
