Rent & eviction protection

Is 1315 Silliman 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 1974
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH1
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 1974
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, two-story multi-family residential building at 1315 Silliman St in Portola, owned by William Reynolds, was constructed in 1974 and has undergone several significant modifications over the past decades. The most notable recent improvement was the successful legalization of a second unit at the ground floor in 2015, which included the installation of a kitchen, furnace, and electrical upgrades for proper kitchen facilities, though this project had been initiated earlier in 2008 with various construction and system installations including a family room, bedroom, bathroom, and storage room. Prior renovations include exterior improvements such as vinyl siding installation in 2014, and interior updates from the 1980s and 1990s involving bathroom and kitchen renovations, social room enlargement, and basement modifications.

The property has experienced some recent maintenance issues, particularly in late 2024, with multiple incidents involving sewage discharge from the side sewer vent during December, though these were resolved without persistent problems. There has been ongoing concern regarding garbage and debris management in the vicinity, with several reports of abandoned furniture and loose garbage between September and December 2024. Other recent concerns include an overgrown tree report from January 2025, though this is in the earliest stages of reporting. The building's most significant recent development was the formal legalization of the second unit and associated deck modifications, which was processed under legal ordinance 43-14, demonstrating compliance with municipal regulations despite the property's history of unauthorized unit modifications prior to 2015.

Risk rating

How 1315 Silliman 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.

Neighborhood percentile
90thpercentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 26 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
