Rent & eviction protection

Is 1885 Bay Shore Blvd 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 1964
2 or more units

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1964
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 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1885 Bay Shore Blvd in Bayview Heights, owned by Sabina Chrystal Yuen, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since its 1964 construction. Most recently, in August 2024, work was approved to comply with a previous notice of violation from June 2006, involving the removal of an unpermitted rear deck and patio doors in Unit 2, along with window and wall repair work costing $70,000. The building has undergone various improvements over the years, including front window replacement (2020), reroofing (2020), and structural work such as shoring system installation and underpinning in 2011. A series of fire safety violations were recorded in September 2016, including issues with fire extinguishers, combustible storage, fire escape maintenance, and lead paint concerns, though these were all abated by May 2024.

Recent complaints and violations indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. In 2023-2024, there were complaints about parking issues, a potentially abandoned/derelict structure concern, and hazardous material storage. Multiple complaints in 2019 documented various problems including water leaks, mold, rodent and cockroach infestation, and parking access issues. Historical records show a pattern of building maintenance and compliance challenges, including unpermitted construction work, structural problems, and pest infestations. While many past violations have been resolved, the building has required numerous permits and corrective actions to address various safety, structural, and habitability issues over the years, including multiple instances of window replacements, electrical upgrades, and fire safety improvements. The most recent building permit suggest ongoing efforts to bring the property into full compliance with current codes and regulations.

Risk rating

How 1885 Bay Shore Blvd'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
5thpercentile

Out of 54 buildings in this neighborhood, 51 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
