Rent & eviction protection

Is 312-314 Excelsior 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1915

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 1915
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 312-314 Excelsior Ave is a two-unit, two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Rosales Fmly Tr. The building underwent a significant permitted renovation in 1998-1999 aimed at expanding the upper unit's living room and adding a half bathroom, though this work led to multiple building violations and a period of non-compliance that extended until August 2012. The building has required multiple permit renewals and experienced enforcement actions between 2000-2012 relating to the expired permit and lack of final inspections, although these violations were eventually resolved. More recently, the building received a new roof in 2018 at a cost of $9,100.

The property has experienced several parking and maintenance issues in the vicinity, with numerous complaints about vehicles blocking driveways and multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property between 2023-2024, though most of these issues were resolved promptly. There are two documented fire incidents: a contained cooking fire and a false alarm, with no civilian injuries reported in either case. The building's most recent planning record indicates a zoning verification letter of determination was issued, suggesting compliance with current zoning requirements.

Risk rating

How 312-314 Excelsior 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
36thpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 216 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.

Building age

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

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.
