Rent & eviction protection

Is 8 Doric Aly 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.

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 three-unit, three-story building at 8 Doric Alley in Nob Hill is a multi-family residential structure dating back to 1908, currently owned by the Florence Kong 2010 Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being roofing repairs completed in 2018 ($3,000) and a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovation in 2015 ($35,000). The building's maintenance history shows attention to both interior and exterior upkeep, including proper window replacement in 2006 when three old window sashes were substituted with new double-glazed units following a Notice of Violation related to lead paint concerns.

The building has experienced various regulatory interactions over the years, with several violations and complaints requiring attention. Notable issues included a 2002 incident involving plumbing, electrical, and fire safety violations, along with lead paint hazards, all of which were abated by September 2002. A 2017 complaint regarding peeling lead paint on the exterior of the building was resolved by April 2018. The property has undergone multiple routine safety inspections (most recently in 2015), and there were two instances of unauthorized work noted: a 2006 window installation without proper permits and a 2014 complaint about an unpermitted ceramic kiln. More recent concerns have primarily involved exterior maintenance and neighborhood issues, including several reports of blocked driveways in late 2023 and early 2024, and regular street cleaning matters as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for garbage and debris removal. The building retains its original character as a flats and duplex structure while undergoing necessary updates to maintain safety and compliance with building codes.

Risk rating

How 8 Doric Aly'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
63rdpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 416 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 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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