Rent & eviction protection

Is 99 Caine 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.

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.

Built 1909
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 99 Caine Ave is a three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Ingleside neighborhood. Built in 1909 and currently owned by Kwok Leung Wong/qiao Shi Zh, the building has undergone significant renovations and faced various challenges over the years. Most notably, in 2005, serious safety concerns were documented, including issues with the building's stucco facade, a dangerously deteriorated detached garage, and precarious store entrance gates, which led to multiple violations and abatement proceedings. These violations were ultimately resolved by July 2005, coinciding with the garage's demolition that same year. The property has since undergone substantial improvements, including a comprehensive electrical upgrade to 200-amp service with four meters in 2016, complete rewiring throughout the building, and extensive renovations to both upstairs and downstairs living spaces in 2017, including bathroom additions, kitchen remodeling, and insulation upgrades totaling $78,000.

The building has experienced several periods of concern regarding vacancy status, with violations recorded in 2012 and 2013 for failing to comply with the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance. More recently, there have been multiple complaints about excessive noise at the property throughout late 2024, which remains unresolved as of October 2024. There was also a carbon monoxide incident noted in the fire incident records, though no civilian injuries were reported. Recent building maintenance has generally improved the property's condition, but the continuing noise complaints suggest some ongoing challenges with resident comfort. The most recent significant building permit activity was in 2017, with no major structural work reportedly undertaken since then, though multiple recent 311 calls regarding the property have primarily related to parking enforcement and noise issues rather than building condition concerns.

Risk rating

How 99 Caine 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
62ndpercentile

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 59 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
