Rent & eviction protection

Is 1024 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

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.

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 property at 1024 Shotwell Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Richard W Browne Revocable Trust. The building has experienced significant water-related issues, most recently documented in 2023 when multiple violations were filed regarding water damage, including a complaint about persistent leaks and mold problems that had reportedly worsened over time. These 2023 violations, which included requirements to locate and repair the water damage, were eventually abated in September 2023. Previous violations in 2013 documented multiple interior problems including mold/mildew on walls, electrical issues, damaged walls, and problems with weather-proofing on the siding, along with a violation related to smoke detector installation. The building's historical records show a fire-related repair in 1991 involving damaged wall studs and ceiling joists.

Recent activity around the building suggests ongoing concerns with the property and its surroundings, though many are related to external factors rather than building conditions themselves. Between 2019 and 2024, there have been several parking enforcement cases near the property for sidewalk parking and driveway blocking, and multiple street cleaning requests have been logged through 311 services. While these external issues do not directly reflect the building's condition, they indicate some level of ongoing maintenance or enforcement needs in the area surrounding the property.

Risk rating

How 1024 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
38thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1476 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
