Rent & eviction protection

Is 211-213 Precita 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.

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 1911
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 211-213 Precita Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1911 and owned by Duong Diep & Huynh Phuong K. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being dry rot repairs and new siding installation in 2017 ($35,000), and a complete reroofing project in 2014 ($11,000). In 2007, substantial structural improvements were made including the addition of a shearwall and footing to an existing open area, and the replacement of the rear deck and stairs as a second means of egress for the second unit, with associated electrical upgrades and plumbing work for laundry facilities. The electrical system received a significant upgrade in early 2008 with the installation of new circuits, lighting, and panel upgrades to 125 amps, indicating attention to modern electrical safety standards.

Recent maintenance and safety matters show regular upkeep of the property, with no major safety violations or complaints on record. While there have been several 311 calls in the vicinity since 2018, they primarily concern street-level issues like parking violations and sidewalk maintenance rather than building-specific concerns. The property has maintained its basic infrastructure well, with no recorded instances of system failures or emergency repairs. The most recent calls related to the property's immediate surroundings include a parking complaint in December 2023 and an abandoned vehicle complaint in June 2024, though these were not directly related to the building itself. The consistent pattern of repairs and upgrades suggests regular maintenance of the property by its current owners, with particular attention paid to structural integrity, electrical systems, and water-related infrastructure over the years.

Risk rating

How 211-213 Precita 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.
