Rent & eviction protection

Is 1791 La Salle 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.

Built 1910

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

1791 La Salle Avenue is a two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Mandalar LLC. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with major upgrades to safety systems including a comprehensive fire sprinkler system installation in 2019 ($28,305), new fire alarm system, and electrical service upgrade to 400 amps. Recent building improvements also included HVAC upgrades with the installation of heat pumps, baseboard heating, and a complete rewiring project in 2018 ($28305). The building has resolved multiple historical violations, including those from a 2007 routine inspection that identified various safety issues, all of which were abated by September 2007.

The most recent concern was filed in May 2024 regarding a potential broken pipe and mold issue, though this complaint is currently noted as not active. The building's property management has demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, completing soft-story retrofit work and obtaining necessary certifications. While there are some ongoing maintenance issues noted in recent 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and debris, these generally relate to external building conditions rather than structural or safety concerns. Historical complaints from 1998 noted multiple maintenance issues including rotting stairs and plumbing concerns, but these appear to have been adequately addressed through subsequent renovations and repairs. The building underwent substantial improvements between 2018-2020, including fire safety upgrades, plumbing renovations, and electrical system modernizations, suggesting active management of building maintenance and safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 1791 La Salle 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
8thpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 351 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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