Rent & eviction protection

Is 41 Peralta 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.

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 41 Peralta Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by William & Dahlia Wright, has undergone numerous significant renovations and faced several challenges since its construction in 1900. The property completed major improvements in 2019-2020, including foundation work at 41A, plumbing upgrades with a new tankless water heater, and electrical corrections, with building safety concerns addressed through completed permits for stair repairs and railing code compliance in 2021 at a cost of $15,000. A substantial 2015 renovation project valued at $140,000 added new decks and dormers, though this work was later subject to multiple revisions due to various issues.

The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including multiple instances of water damage and structural issues, with records of dry rot repairs in 2019 and significant staircase repairs in 2021. A cluster of complaints in March 2018 raised serious habitability concerns about unit 41A, citing unauthorized excavation work and major renovation work conducted without proper permits, leading to multiple violations that were eventually abated between 2014-2015. The building's systems have been extensively updated over the years, including complete electrical system legalization in 2011-2014, water heater installations, and HVAC system updates in 2019. Recent building inspection records show ongoing attention to maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns in 2024 regarding sidewalk access and exterior maintenance, though these appear to be unrelated to the building's structural or systems integrity.

Risk rating

How 41 Peralta 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
43rdpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 727 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

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