Rent & eviction protection

Is 1400 Keith 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 1924

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 1924
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-unit residential property at 1400 Keith Street, owned by Guadalupe Hernandez, is a one-story flats and duplex building constructed in 1924 in the Bayview neighborhood. The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, with the most recent significant concerns occurring in 2022 including hanging wires creating safety hazards and various repairs to address code enforcement complaints. In 2018, multiple violations were recorded including inadequate heating, plumbing issues, and the need for smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, though these were abated within two months. The property underwent several modifications between 2008-2009 to legalize additional rooms and make foundation repairs, with corresponding permits for plumbing and electrical work. Earlier history shows attempts to convert the building between 1994-1995, along with various maintenance issues being addressed through building permits over the years.

More recent concerns have been primarily focused on exterior maintenance, with complaints in 2024 and 2023 regarding peeling paint. The building has been subject to multiple 311 calls in recent months (January 2025) primarily related to garbage and debris. There were also several fire safety inspections, with violations documented in 2018 and 2021 related to illegal occupancy and blocked exits, though these were corrected. A brief period of concern about potential overcrowding was noted in multiple complaints from 2021, suggesting possible unauthorized unit modifications or occupancy issues, but most building violations have been addressed promptly through various permits and corrections. The property has had regular maintenance and improvement work done over the years, including window replacements, garage repairs, and water heater updates, with the most recent building permit in 2022 addressing multiple code compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 1400 Keith 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
12thpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 336 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
