Rent & eviction protection

Is 476-480 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

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 two-unit residential building at 476-480 Bartlett Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Nova Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including the installation of solar panel systems in 2009-2010 (with two separate installations totaling 3.896 kW), a complete reroofing in 1993, and both water line and gas houseline work in 2010, though the water line replacement permit has since expired. A notable building violation occurred in April 2020 regarding an unauthorized fence construction at the rear of the property, which created a height of approximately 10 feet and reportedly obstructed sunlight for neighboring units; this issue was abated by May 2020. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and environmental improvements, though there have been some permit compliance issues, such as the 1999 water line replacement and more recently, the 2020 fence violation. Surrounding area reports include regular street cleaning issues noted in 2014, 2016, and 2021, a streetlight flicker in 2014 that was resolved, and an encampment cleanup in 2019, though these were related to public infrastructure rather than the property itself.

Risk rating

How 476-480 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
37thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1499 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
