Rent & eviction protection

Is 1731-1733 Oakdale 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 1907

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 property at 1731-1733 Oakdale Avenue is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Silver Terrace neighborhood. Built in 1907 and currently owned by Octavio Padilla, this apartment building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over its lifetime. Between 1983 and 2016, various permitted work included kitchen remodels, dry rot repairs to front stairs and wall, a water heater replacement, and an overhead to underground electrical conversion.

The building's most notable issues emerged during a series of inspections in 2006-2011, particularly concerning fire safety concerns. Multiple violations were recorded and resolved between late 2006 and early 2011, including problems with fire escape ladders, fire extinguisher requirements, combustible storage, and fire proofing materials. Although these violations were officially abated, they highlight past fire safety concerns that required significant attention. More recently, the property has experienced some maintenance issues in late 2024, including reports of excessive noise, sidewalk defects, and multiple instances of garbage and debris complaints. The property has a history of routine housing inspections, with the most recent violations occurring between 2006-2011 all having been resolved, and only routine maintenance and no active violations on record up to October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1731-1733 Oakdale 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
7thpercentile

Out of 71 buildings in this neighborhood, 66 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
