Rent & eviction protection

Is 1330 Jones 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 before 1979
Built 1954
2 or more units

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.

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 1330 Jones Street building is a 6-story, 37-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1954, currently owned by 1330 Jones Street LLC. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including the installation of EV charging stations in 2022 with a dedicated electrical panel, replacement of domestic hot water boilers in 2019, and multiple plumbing system improvements between 2016-2019 involving water tanks and piping. The building has a history of heating system issues, with multiple tenant complaints about inadequate heat recorded between 2003-2007, though these problems appear to have been addressed through subsequent boiler replacements and repairs.

The property has undergone regular safety inspections, with the most recent routine safety inspection recorded in 2019. Earlier building violations from 2000-2003 involved fire safety equipment maintenance and building infrastructure issues, all of which were subsequently addressed. Recent maintenance activity has primarily focused on exterior street space use permits, with several issued between October 2018 and March 2019. The building has experienced occasional fire alarm system activations, with the most recent complaint in August 2024 being determined to have no merit, and a previous 2008 alarm issue that was corrected. The property's location has been the subject of various municipal service requests in recent years, primarily related to street maintenance and parking issues, which are generally not directly related to building operations or tenant experience.

Risk rating

How 1330 Jones 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
2ndpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 1102 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.

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.

Neighborhood location

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