Rent & eviction protection

Is 1102-1120 Mason 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 1909
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.

Built 1909
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 residential building at 1102-1120 Mason St in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, owned by Alice Poon Harding, was constructed in 1909 and contains 5 units. The property has undergone several recent developments, with three construction permits issued in 2025 totaling $38,100 in estimated construction costs. These include a bathroom remodel and kitchen relocation in Unit 1116 (September), exploratory wall openings for future construction (July), and a subsequent revision for voluntary structural strengthening discovered during demolition (December).

The building has experienced notable maintenance and environmental challenges in recent months, particularly between March and July 2026, with seven 311 service requests logged, primarily related to waste management issues. These incidents included reports of hazardous waste, loose garbage, yard waste, and abandoned vehicles, one of which was related to expired registration and required towing action. While all service requests were ultimately resolved, with the majority relating to debris and waste issues, the concentration of these incidents during this period suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance or waste management systems.

Risk rating

How 1102-1120 Mason 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
69thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 349 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.
