Rent & eviction protection

Is 1012 Shotwell 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 1900
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1900
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 three-unit residential building at 1012 Shotwell St in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by the Jeffrey H Weil Living Trust 20. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2020 when Unit B received a comprehensive renovation including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements costing $40,000. Prior to this, in 2019, nine windows were replaced and in 2004, repairs were made to the rear stairs. Historical records show the building underwent reroofing in 1997 and had earthquake damage removal work completed in 1990.

The property experienced a notable violation incident in 2004 when unauthorized construction of a two-story deck was reported, leading to abatement proceedings that were eventually resolved in 2019. More recently, in March 2020, there was a complaint about unpermitted work in the building's rear, though this complaint is now listed as not active. The building has also faced recurring municipal service issues, particularly related to waste management, with multiple complaints about missed trash/recycle/compost collections and other sanitation concerns between 2023 and 2025. While some of these service issues have been resolved through proper channels, they suggest ongoing challenges with waste management in the area. The most recent inspection in 2025 noted an issue with human waste or urine on or near the property, though this was listed as "Insufficient Information" and is not directly attributable to the property itself.

Risk rating

How 1012 Shotwell 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
55thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1071 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

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.
