Rent & eviction protection

Is 424-426 Bartlett 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

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-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 424-426 Bartlett Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district, owned by Michael L. Carlyle, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant modifications over its lifetime. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with both structural and surface elements, including dry rot repairs at the rear deck in 2015 and previous siding replacement work in 2001. A notable conversion from five to three units occurred in 1992, despite its current five-unit designation. The property has faced multiple housing code violations, with a particularly concerning cluster of safety and maintenance issues documented in 2002 (resolved by October 2002) including inadequate lighting, missing fire extinguishers, egress obstructions, and handrail deficiencies. More recent violations in 2014 involved electrical issues, paint hazards, and drainage system concerns, all of which were resolved by mid-2015. The building has undergone routine inspections in 2002, 2010, 2014, and 2015, with the most recent complaint in October 2024 regarding pigeon-related cleanliness issues.

The property has experienced periodic exterior maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple reports of graffiti between 2019-2020 and recurring encampment reports during 2019-2020, though these were typically resolved promptly by city agencies. A gas houseline extension was completed in 2010, representing the most recent plumbing infrastructure work on record. The building's permit history demonstrates a pattern of addressing both routine maintenance and more significant structural issues, with all cited violations and necessary repairs having been documented as completed, though the frequency and variety of historical violations suggest an ongoing need for proactive building maintenance. The property has maintained occupancy as a multi-family residential building throughout its history, with unit counts and configuration changes appearing to be properly documented in the building permit system.

Risk rating

How 424-426 Bartlett 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
43rdpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1357 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
