Rent & eviction protection

Is 988-992 Capp 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 1904
2 or more units

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 1904
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 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 988-992 Capp Street in the Inner Mission, built in 1904 and currently owned by Alexey Rostapshov, has undergone significant recent improvements and currently has several substantial proposed modifications under review. Recent completed projects include a $125,000 interior renovation of the first-floor unit's kitchen and bath (2020), a $26,000 partial seismic strengthening of the first floor (2021), and comprehensive electrical upgrades including a new 400-amp service and additional meter installations (2021). The building has received proper attention to safety concerns, with the resolution of multiple housing inspection violations in 2015 related to fire safety systems and stair repairs, all of which were abated by October 2015.

The property is currently under review for a major renovation project that proposes to add 925 square feet and three new units within the existing garage/crawl space, along with substantial enlargements of the existing units on all floors. This proposed work, which would require variances for front setback, rear yard, and other modifications, includes plans for new emergency exit stairs, an electrical room, foundation replacement, and voluntary seismic retrofit. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including roof replacement (2020), garage structural repairs (2018), and various plumbing and electrical improvements. Recent 311 calls regarding the property have been primarily related to external issues such as sidewalk blockage and street cleaning matters, rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 988-992 Capp 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
61stpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 928 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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)
