Rent & eviction protection

Is 33-35 Topaz Way 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 1969

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 1969
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 33-35 Topaz Way in Diamond Heights, owned by the Robert Pullum 2014 Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1969. The property is currently undergoing solar panel installations, with three permits issued between August 2023 and September 2024 for multiple solar PV modules totaling between 4.44 kW and 5.18 kW. Recent maintenance work includes a complete reroofing project completed in August 2023 ($28,132) and the replacement of a 40-gallon gas water heater ($1,500) in the same month. The building has a history of responding to fire safety concerns, with multiple fire complaints between 2012 and 2024, primarily related to alarm systems and cooking incidents, though most were resolved or found to have no merit. A notable physical inspection report from July 2014 resulted in several compliance improvements across electrical, plumbing, and other systems.

Recent activity in the vicinity of the property indicates ongoing maintenance and quality of life challenges, particularly regarding waste management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding abandoned furniture and debris between August and October 2024. There are also two open violations related to sleeping area requirements in the neighborhood from late 2023. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a furnace replacement in 2012 and various compliance work, though electrical permits related to solar installation show more recent focus on sustainable improvements. The property underwent a two-unit condo conversion process that was approved, indicating a transition in ownership structure at some point in its history. While the building has experienced periodic issues with its fire alarm and sprinkler systems, most incidents have been minor, and there have been no reported civilian injuries from any incidents on record.

Risk rating

How 33-35 Topaz Way'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
70thpercentile

Out of 17 buildings in this neighborhood, 5 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
