Rent & eviction protection

Is 1094 Hollister Ave 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 3-unit multi-family residential building at 1094 Hollister Avenue, owned by Gwendolyn Mitchell, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over its history, with the most pressing concerns emerging in recent years. As of October 2024, there are active complaints regarding unpermitted units and water heater/pet policy violations, following a pattern of maintenance challenges that began to intensify in 2017 when multiple violations were documented, including issues with smoke detectors, floor coverings, bathroom ventilation, inoperable appliances, egress obstructions, water damage, damaged walls, and lead hazards. These violations, though officially abated in November 2017, coincided with complaints about roof leaks and water damage that had been ongoing since at least 2012, leading to concerns about mold development.

The building has a history of roofing issues, with repairs evidenced by permits from 1990 and multiple violations and complaints between 1997 and 2024 suggesting persistent problems. Notable work was performed in 2007-2008, including window removals and siding modifications, though there was a subsequent complaint about unauthorized siding and window work. Recent infrastructure concerns are evident, with multiple sewage backup incidents reported in late 2024. While the building has undergone various repairs and modifications over its lifetime, including a significant permit for stucco repair in 2007, the recurring nature of water-related issues and the recent complaints regarding unpermitted units suggest ongoing compliance and maintenance challenges. Parking enforcement issues in the surrounding area have also been documented, with multiple citations issued between November 2024 and December 2024.

Risk rating

How 1094 Hollister Ave'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
18thpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 313 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

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

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Neighborhood location

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