Rent & eviction protection

Is 1425-1427 Ocean Ave 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 1925

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 1925
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 1425-1427 Ocean Avenue is a mixed-use building constructed in 1925, featuring three residential units and a ground-floor commercial space, currently owned by SF Municipal Railway Employees Federal Credit Union. The building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance over the years, with the most recent substantial work occurring in 2024 when major improvements were made to the kitchen and bathrooms on the second floor, with an associated cost of approximately $238,800. In 2023, accessible improvements were completed in the commercial space, including bathroom renovations and ceiling repairs. The building has received consistent attention to maintenance and upgrades, including a complete reroofing of the lower rear section in 2020, installation of new bathrooms, and extensive electrical upgrades.

Historically, the building faced several maintenance challenges in the early 2000s, including violations related to electrical systems, plumbing, interior surfaces, and heating that were all abated by May 2002. More recent history shows attention to building upkeep, though there were recurring issues with the commercial space being vacant between 2020-2023. The property has also experienced some external maintenance matters including graffiti (most recently in 2023) and various municipal service requests, though these do not typically impact residential conditions directly. Recent improvements indicate active management of building systems, with proper permits obtained for significant electrical work, including the installation of a new subpanel and extensive rewiring on the second floor. The building's current condition appears stable, with ongoing maintenance and upgrading of both residential and commercial spaces being evident through recent building permit activity.

Risk rating

How 1425-1427 Ocean Ave'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
33rdpercentile
