Rent & eviction protection

Is 331-333 Capitol 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 before 1979
Built 1914

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 1914
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 331-333 Capitol Avenue in Oceanview, owned by Brooks Meliney E, has undergone significant recent improvements since 2021, including major renovations in 2021 to convert a den into a family room, add storage space, modify bathroom layouts, and remodel the kitchen. 2023 saw comprehensive upgrades including new insulation, drywall replacement, electrical rewiring, and HVAC system improvements with new furnaces and ductwork installation. The building received a notable renovation in March 2024 involving the replacement of exterior rear stairs, and subsequent permit activity suggests ongoing improvements, including a mini-split system replacement.

The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple code violations recorded between 2018 and 2024, most recently in October 2024 for concerns including blocked doors, exit pathways, and sprinkler maintenance. The building's fire alarm systems have also been a recurring concern, with several complaints in 2021-2024. While many violations have been addressed and abated, the repeated nature of fire code issues suggests ongoing monitoring of safety systems. The building's recent improvement history indicates active maintenance and upgrade efforts by the current ownership, though the frequency of fire-related complaints warrants attention. The property has been subject to multiple 311 calls in early 2025, primarily related to street cleaning issues, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 331-333 Capitol 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
97thpercentile

Out of 79 buildings in this neighborhood, 2 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
