Rent & eviction protection

Is 1200 Dolores 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 1902

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 1902
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, two-story multi-family residential building at 1200 Dolores Street, owned by Christine A & John J Ried, was constructed in 1902 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in September 2023, an $18,000 reroofing project was completed, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of the property's infrastructure. The building underwent substantial interior improvements in 2016, including bathroom renovations on the top floor with new electrical wiring, installation of new plumbing fixtures, and conversion of 237 square feet of attic space into a bathroom and egress area, along with water heater replacements on two occasions (2016 and 2011). These improvements suggest proper maintenance and modernization of essential systems.

The property has experienced some regulatory interactions, notably a building violation in 2009 regarding unauthorized construction of a shed roof over a side entrance, which was eventually resolved by January 2011. While there haven't been any reported fire incidents related to structural damage or injuries, a carbon monoxide detector activation due to malfunction was recorded. The building's exterior has been generally well-maintained, with documented repairs including shingle replacement in 2008 and roof repairs in 2010. Recent 311 calls in 2024 primarily concern neighborhood issues such as parking and tree maintenance, rather than problems with the building itself, though there was one report of a collapsed sidewalk and a defaced stop sign that were promptly addressed. The property appears to be regularly maintained, with most permits being completed successfully, though some street space permits were issued in 2016-2017 for temporary uses.

Risk rating

How 1200 Dolores 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
