Rent & eviction protection

Is 173-289 Addison 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 1972

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 1972
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 Diamond View Residents Association property at 173-289 Addison Street in Glen Park is a 33-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1972. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, most notably a serious electrical fire in December 2018 that resulted in the displacement of four residents. More recent concerns include active complaints from January 2024 regarding mold, leaking ceilings, deteriorated electrical equipment, and accessibility issues, as well as an active complaint from September 2024 about problematic outdoor faucet hardware. The building has undergone multiple renovation projects, including electrical upgrades in 2020 (replacement of sub-panels and various outlets), plumbing work such as water heater replacements in 2022-2022, and several kitchen renovations. A cluster of violations was documented in late 2022, including issues with worn floor coverings, window hardware, handrails, fire escape maintenance, and smoke/carbon monoxide detector compliance, though these were subsequently marked as not active following a Director's hearing in February 2023.

The property's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with various building systems, including regular water heater replacements, multiple deck repairs (documented in 2007, with more recent issues noted in 2024), and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. A concerning pattern of water-related issues is evident, with multiple water heater replacements, sewer repairs in 2012, and persistent complaints about leaks and flooding affecting unit 281. Historical records show recurring fire safety inspections and minor violations related to combustible materials, though more serious fire incidents appear to be relatively rare. The building's management has undertaken various repair projects in response to Notices of Violation (NOVs), including recent work in 2024 to address damaged exterior wood flooring and fascia boards. While many historical violations and complaints have been resolved, several active complaints from 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 173-289 Addison 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
0thpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 364 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
