Rent & eviction protection

Is 996 Huron 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 1900
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 996 Huron Avenue is a two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Marcela & Raymond Lacap 200. The building has undergone multiple significant improvements and faced various challenges over the past decade. Recent major work includes plumbing upgrades in 2018 with the replacement of the main water line and meter, installation of a new tankless water heater, and comprehensive commercial tenant improvements including new HVAC, electrical systems, and bathroom facilities. The building has a history of compliance issues, with several administrative permits in 2017 verifying its occupancy as a 3-unit residential building with ground floor commercial space, and previous unauthorized modifications being addressed, including the removal of unpermitted bathroom work. Recent tenant complaints from 2021-2022 included issues with rodent infiltration and window conditions, while a 2020 complaint raised safety concerns about deteriorating rainwater leaders. The building experienced significant violations in 2000 related to heating, plumbing, and interior surfaces, though these were all abated by October 2000.

The commercial portion of the property has undergone several transitions, including a 2018 change from retail to a barber shop, and there were multiple applications for cannabis dispensary use between 2018-2020, though these were ultimately withdrawn or disapproved. The building's systems have received regular maintenance and upgrades, including electrical service improvements in 2005 and various plumbing repairs. Recent maintenance concerns have primarily involved exterior issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding garbage, debris, and parking violations around the property. Two significant tenant buyouts occurred in 2018, one for $70,000 involving 3 tenants and another for $32,000 involving 1 tenant, suggesting substantial rental unit turnover during that period.

Risk rating

How 996 Huron 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
0thpercentile

Out of 112 buildings in this neighborhood, 112 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
