Rent & eviction protection

Is 8 Godeus 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 1900
2 or more units

Property type

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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 four-unit multi-family residential building at 8 Godeus Street in Bernal Heights, owned by the Luis D Zumaeta Revocable Trust, has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues spanning several decades. Most concerning are recent developments from February 2024, when ten violations were identified related to interior surfaces, including mold/mildew, damaged paint, and lead paint safety issues. Although these violations were officially abated by April 17, 2024, they were reported to have impacted resident health, with one complaint specifically mentioning persistent dampness affecting occupants' well-being. The building also experienced multiple fire code violations in May 2017, which were subsequently corrected, and there were previous concerns about potential illegal units in 1997 and 1998, though these issues were resolved.

The property, built in 1900, has undergone various improvements over the years, including reroofing in 2002, window modifications in 1999, and several interior renovations in the 1990s. Historical maintenance work includes general repairs, painting, and infrastructure updates documented through various building permits. While some improvements have been made, the recent pattern of moisture-related problems and compliance violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's location has been subject to complaints about nearby transit infrastructure, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 8 Godeus 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.
