Rent & eviction protection

Is 959-969 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 1906

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.

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 13-unit, three-story apartment building at 959-969 Capp St, owned by Golden Properties LLC, has a long history of maintenance issues and compliance requirements dating back to the early 2000s. Most notably, the property has experienced recurring problems with its rear stairs, with a significant incident in December 2019 when the back stair collapsed, leading to multiple subsequent violations and repairs that continued through 2021. The building has undergone several structural reinforcements to address stair safety, including a $2,500 project in 2020 specifically to comply with complaints about stair conditions. Other major maintenance work has included reroofing in 2012 ($17,400), electrical upgrades in various units, and compliance with multiple Notices of Violation (NOVs) regarding safety systems.

Recent issues have included security concerns in 2023 with reports of tampered doors and repeated mailbox break-ins, as well as a common areas complaint in October 2023. The building has faced multiple fire safety violations over the years, including a May 2023 violation regarding fire alarms and extinguishers, though these have generally been abated in accordance with city requirements. Historical complaints from 2002 presented various safety and maintenance concerns, including inadequate lighting, problems with the central alarm system, egress obstructions, floor covering issues, and heating system deficiencies - all of which were addressed through subsequent repairs and modifications. The property has maintained active compliance with most building codes since 2019, with only two open 311 calls in 2024 relating to street cleaning matters near the property.

Risk rating

How 959-969 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
4thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2285 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
