Rent & eviction protection

Is 985-987 Duncan St 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 1962

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 1962
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

This three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 985-987 Duncan St in Diamond Heights was constructed in 1962 and is currently owned by Lori Ann Ingram Subtrust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades, including multiple roofing replacements (most recently in 2010 at a cost of $5,000), extensive window and door replacements in 2008 ($39,000), and sewer line and house trap replacement in 2019. The building has a documented history of addressing structural issues, particularly dry rot, with repairs carried out in 2008 affecting both the exterior siding and window openings, along with kitchen and bathroom renovations on the first floor and lower level.

Recent concerns include multiple violations and complaints related to safety systems and construction activities. Most notably, there is an active building complaint filed in October 2024 regarding illegal major construction that allegedly disturbed elderly residents, and an open sleeping area requirements violation from November 2023 that requires permit procurement. The building has experienced several fire safety incidents, primarily involving malfunctioning alarm systems (2008-2016) and detector activations, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. While the property has had various maintenance issues over the years, including deck repairs in 1994 and multiple roofing projects, most historical permits and repairs have been completed satisfactorily. The most recent plumbing work and fire safety violations suggest ongoing attention is needed to maintain compliance with current safety standards.

Risk rating

How 985-987 Duncan St'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
52ndpercentile
