Rent & eviction protection

Is 1951 Revere 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 before 1979
Built 1907

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 two-unit residential building at 1951 Revere Avenue in Silver Terrace, owned by Chia Patricia G S & Wong Ju, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907. The building has undergone limited documented structural improvements, including a completed reroofing project in 1988 and work on the center beam in the sub-area that same year. In recent months, the property has experienced several notable events, with the most significant being a sewage back-up discharge from a side sewer vent in November 2024, which was investigated and found to have no ongoing problems after maintenance flushing. The property has faced recurring issues with abandoned items on the street and sidewalk, particularly furniture and mattresses, with multiple reports filed between September and November 2024, suggesting possible challenges with refuse management or tenant turnover.

The building's historical record shows minimal fire-related incidents, including two documented events: a cooking fire confined to a container (with no injuries reported) and a false alarm, both of which occurred prior to 2022. Earlier complaints about weeds and grass in 2005 and 2020 were addressed and resolved, though a November 2022 complaint remains on record as having been referred to another agency. The property's recent activity has been heavily concentrated in the fall of 2024, primarily involving issues with street cleaning and parking violations, including two instances of sidewalk parking that required enforcement intervention. While the building's basic infrastructure appears to have been maintained (as evidenced by historical permits), the recent cluster of service calls suggests some ongoing maintenance and management challenges requiring attention.

Risk rating

How 1951 Revere 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
81stpercentile

Out of 71 buildings in this neighborhood, 13 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.

Neighborhood location

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

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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