Rent & eviction protection

Is 1112-1120 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 1907

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 1907
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 1112-1120 Shotwell Street is a 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, containing 5 units and owned by 1112 Shotwell LLC. The building has undergone significant improvements and renovations in recent years, with major work completed between 2022-2023 including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system ($44,500), fire alarm system ($17,906), and electrical upgrade work. The property has also received substantial interior improvements, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, new wiring, and plumbing upgrades. A 2.5 kW rooftop solar system was installed in late 2023, representing the building's commitment to modern infrastructure.

The building has experienced several regulatory and maintenance challenges over its history. In 2003-2004, multiple violations were recorded related to lead paint hazards, security requirements, and fire safety, all of which were ultimately abated by November 2004. More recently, there were complaints about handrail deficiencies in 2013 and concerns about construction modifications in 2022 regarding drainage and roof design. Three tenant buyouts occurred between 2020-2023, with compensation amounts ranging from $105,427.18 to $150,000. The property is currently under consideration for additional development through proposals for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and potential vertical subdivision for condominium units, indicating plans for further density increase and modernization. Recent maintenance issues have included a collapsing sidewalk (reported November 2024) and excessive noise complaints, which are currently under review.

Risk rating

How 1112-1120 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
