Rent & eviction protection

Is 431-433 Arlington 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 1913

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 1913
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 431-433 Arlington Street in Glen Park is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by Morris Donnie R Trustee. The building has experienced significant vacancy issues over the past decade, with multiple violations of the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance (194-09) documented between 2013 and 2022, including persistent blight conditions such as broken windows, fire safety concerns, and evidence of wildlife infestations (pigeons). Since May 2023, there have been some positive developments with new building permits issued in October 2024 for kitchen and bathroom renovations in two separate permits, each valued at $10,000.

The building's history shows past maintenance attempts such as staircase repairs in 1996 and the installation of a sprinkler system in 1992. More recent concerns have emerged regarding surrounding property conditions, with several 311 calls in 2024 relating to damaged trees near the property and encampment-related issues documented in late 2023. While the building had the same owner for over three decades, current records indicate the property may have fallen under a trust ownership structure. The recent issuance of renovation permits suggests potential rehabilitation of the long-vacant structure, though its historical pattern of violations and maintenance issues warrants careful observation of future developments.

Risk rating

How 431-433 Arlington 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
9thpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 331 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
