Rent & eviction protection

Is 130-134 Pfeiffer 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.

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 1958
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-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 130-134 Pfeiffer Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Philip & Dawn Daro, was constructed in 1958 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The most pressing historical issue occurred in 2005-2009 when the property faced hazardous rockfall concerns from the hillside, leading to a serious violation and subsequent stabilization work in 2007 costing $60,000. This geological issue was ultimately resolved by March 2009. In 2009-2010, the building underwent substantial modernization, including complete electrical system upgrades with new subpanels, kitchen renovations in multiple units, and compliance work following a physical inspection report. More recent improvements include window replacements in 2016, where four aluminum windows were substituted with fiberglass equivalents.

The property has demonstrated consistent maintenance and upgrading practices, with regular inspections apparently resulting in prompt attention to any deficiencies. More recent activity at the address includes several 311 calls between 2019-2024 regarding neighborhood issues such as street cleaning, parking violations, and noise, though these are typical for the area and don't directly reflect on the building's condition. The most recent building-related work was completed in 2016, and while there are no current building violations or safety concerns on record, the 2005-2009 rockfall incident stands out as the most significant past safety issue the building has experienced. The three-unit property underwent a condo conversion process in accordance with planning regulations, which was completed and approved, demonstrating compliance with local housing requirements.

Risk rating

How 130-134 Pfeiffer 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
85thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 103 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
