Rent & eviction protection

Is 1325-1327 Church 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 1953
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1953
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 multi-family residential building at 1325-1327 Church Street, owned by Monika & Anil Kavipurapu Re, is a 2-story TIC building constructed in 1953, currently undergoing significant renovations and improvements. In recent months, the property has seen substantial maintenance work, including the replacement of lightwell siding with James Hardie cement siding (2025), kitchen renovations (2025), and repairs to address dry rot issues on both the southern wall and in exterior lightwell/backyard areas (2023-2024). A completed reroofing project (2024) and fire escape stairs repair work, as specified by a Board of Appeals decision, have also been undertaken. The building's systems are being upgraded, with the installation of new electrical features including recessed lighting and smoke detectors (2024), kitchen and plumbing improvements (2025), and the attempted installation of a hybrid electric water heater (2023).

Historically, the building has experienced typical urban residential issues such as illegal postings on street furniture, periodic parking enforcement needs, and service-related noise (garbage collection). A significant development regarding the building's unit status occurred in 2018, when a 3-R report recognized two units (1325 and 1327) and a housekeeping unit, with a proposal to legalize the housekeeping unit and officially increase the unit count to three. The property has maintained active compliance with building maintenance requirements, as evidenced by the regular issuance and completion of necessary permits for various repairs and improvements. While there have been several 311 calls related to the property and its surroundings, these primarily concern street-level issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1325-1327 Church 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
30thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1315 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
