Rent & eviction protection

Is 194-196 Jules 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 1946

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.

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 194-196 Jules Avenue in Ingleside, owned by Brantley P Tidmore/carroll, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges since its construction in 1946. Most recently, in 2020, the property received substantial mechanical upgrades including the installation of two 80% efficient furnaces and a complete repiping with copper pipes. Previous improvements include a reroofing project in 2005 and a comprehensive electrical system upgrade in 2003 that included new panels, meters, and wiring for both apartments. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues from 1998-2002, including multiple violations and complaints related to water damage, mold, and interior surface problems, though all these violations were officially abated by October 2001.

The property recently underwent a tenant buyout at 196 Jules Avenue in July 2021 for $50,000 involving one tenant. In late 2024, there was an unusually high frequency of garbage and debris-related complaints near the property, with multiple reports between November 2024 and January 2025, though these are more recent and may not directly reflect on the building's condition. There was one notable incident in March 2002 involving multiple broken doors and a roof leak resulting in water damage, and previous complaints in 1998 cited various maintenance issues including electrical problems and bathroom leaks. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing urgent infrastructure needs, particularly in the past two decades, with systematic updates to heating, plumbing, and electrical systems.

Risk rating

How 194-196 Jules 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
71stpercentile

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 45 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
