Rent & eviction protection

Is 1843-1845 Jennings 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 1927

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 1927
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 multi-family residential building at 1843-1845 Jennings Street in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by Zayed Rabia, was constructed in 1927 and contains three units. The building has undergone several noteworthy repairs and improvements over the years, including a subfloor repair in 2007 to address rot in a southeast bedroom, Reroofing in 1992, and multiple window installations in 1988-1989. However, the property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly during the 2000s. A significant cluster of violations occurred in 2005-2007, including water damage, ceiling and floor problems, potential lead paint concerns, and unpermitted plumbing alterations. Multiple complaints about the building's plumbing systems, drainage issues, and water heater problems were documented between 2006 and 2008. More recently, in 2024, the building received a fire code violation regarding building contact information, though this was quickly abated on the same day.

The property has been the subject of regular maintenance requirements, with several permits and violations being addressed over the years. There is a notable pattern of unpermitted work and subsequent violations, including unauthorized bathroom remodeling in 2007 and plumbing modifications. The building has also experienced infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris issues, as well as a paint peeling complaint. While many historic violations have been resolved, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with compliance and resident comfort, particularly during the 2005-2007 period which saw multiple complaints about interior conditions and systems. The most recent fire code violation from June 2024 was promptly addressed, indicating current ownership may be more responsive to regulatory requirements, though the building's historical record shows a pattern of delayed or unpermitted work requiring subsequent correction.

Risk rating

How 1843-1845 Jennings 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
26thpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 283 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
