Rent & eviction protection

Is 1-3 Pueblo 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 1953

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.

Built 1953
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 1 Pueblo Street in Visitacion Valley, owned by the Coleman Family Trust, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance and safety issues since July 2024. The most pressing concerns include multiple active violations filed on July 19, 2024, regarding a cockroach infestation, water damage, hazardous conditions, and various interior maintenance needs such as floor covering repairs, ceiling painting, and sink repairs. More critically, there are serious safety violations including a fire hazard and the lack of required smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms, with a director hearing scheduled for January 30, 2025. The building has also experienced a severe rodent infestation, with a complaint filed on December 23, 2024 still listed as active. Prior to these issues, there were significant problems in February 2020 including the removal of kitchen facilities with pest infestations, and unauthorized room modifications possibly related to illegal habitation.

The property has a documented history of parking enforcement issues, with several citations issued in 2024 for blocking driveways and other illegal parking, though these are generally unrelated to building habitability concerns. A single incident involving a carbon monoxide detector activation with no CO detected was recorded, though the date was not specified. Throughout 2024, there have been multiple complaints about parking violations near the property, with at least one involving parking on the sidewalk, and occasional reports of garbage and debris issues. While these complaints are more related to street conditions than building maintenance, they do indicate ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 1-3 Pueblo 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
8thpercentile

Out of 214 buildings in this neighborhood, 197 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
