Rent & eviction protection

Is 387 Edinburgh 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 1906
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1906
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 387 Edinburgh St in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Rosendo & Maria G Corrales, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1906. The property's most significant historical safety concern occurred in late 1998 when one of two fire exits was reported blocked, particularly concerning as it involved a tenant with three small children; this issue was subsequently addressed by February 1999. Record-keeping shows two completed building permits from 1989: one for removing a rear wall and stucco work, and another for repairing damaged wood in the front stair and replacing a stringer.

Recent history from 2022 onwards indicates ongoing issues with parking violations, particularly involving multiple citations for sidewalk parking by various vehicles (primarily Honda models), suggesting a persistent problem with illegal parking in the vicinity. The property has also experienced some infrastructure challenges, including tree-related issues with damaged and property-damaging trees reported in 2024 and 2022, respectively, though these cases are still open with the Department of Public Works. Other miscellaneous incidents recorded include hazardous materials spills (resolved), Christmas tree removal (completed), and several parking enforcement actions, with the most recent activity related to a parking violation in September 2024 where officers were unable to locate the offending vehicle.

Risk rating

How 387 Edinburgh 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
76thpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 81 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
