Rent & eviction protection

Is 1109-1111 Phelps 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 1918

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 1918
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 1109-1111 Phelps Street property is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1918, currently owned by 1109 Phelps LLC. The building has a notable history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly a significant cluster of violations documented in October 2007, when the property was found to have multiple problems including: electrical issues with outlets throughout the units, plumbing problems, water damage, damaged ceilings and walls, pest infestations (rodents and cockroaches), and security concerns related to exterior door locks. These violations were all addressed and officially abated by December 2007. The most recent building permit on record is from 2008 for a sidewalk permit, with a minimal cost of $1.00.

In recent years, there have been multiple service calls regarding the property, particularly related to excessive noise, with several noise reports filed between 2023-2024. The property has also experienced recurring issues with illegal parking, as evidenced by multiple citations issued in late 2023 and early 2024. Street cleaning issues have been documented in 2024, though these were external to the building itself. A single fire-related complaint was filed in August 2013 regarding combustible materials, but this was found to have no merit within one day of the report. The current status of the property appears to be stable in terms of building code violations, with no active violations on record since the 2007 remediation, though the frequency of recent noise complaints may be of note.

Risk rating

How 1109-1111 Phelps 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 122 are predicted to be safer.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
