Rent & eviction protection

Is 139-141 Paris 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

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 property at 139-141 Paris Street in the Excelsior neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Ronald Courville and Montoya. The building underwent significant renovations in 2007, including a $160,000 horizontal addition of family rooms and bathrooms, though this permit subsequently expired without final inspection, leading to a violation notice in March 2009. The property has seen various plumbing and electrical upgrades, particularly in 2019, including final inspections, drain installations, and bathroom work. Multiple permits from 2008 show systematic improvements including the installation of new bathrooms, shower facilities, and electrical systems, though many of these permits expired and required follow-up inspections.

The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning issues in 2004, including plumbing problems (leaky sinks and drains), bathroom deficiencies, exposed floor surfaces, and signs of possible mold or mildew - all of which were reportedly abated by September 2004. More recent history shows recurring issues with garbage and debris in the vicinity, particularly during 2024, with multiple reports of waste accumulation requiring municipal intervention. Notably, there was one tenant buyout recorded in June 2019 for $30,000. The property has experienced some enforcement actions, including a complaint in 2006 regarding an allegedly illegal basement unit, though many of these past complaints are no longer active. Recent activity in 2024 has primarily consisted of parking enforcement requests and street cleaning matters. The building's permit history shows a pattern of substantial upgrades and improvements, though often requiring multiple follow-up inspections to achieve proper closure.

Risk rating

How 139-141 Paris 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
54thpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 155 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
