Rent & eviction protection

Is 148-152 Wetmore 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 1900
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 3-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 148-152 Wetmore Street in Nob Hill, owned by George L & Vera C Wong Family, has a documented history spanning several decades from its construction in 1900. The most recent significant maintenance was completed in April 2024, involving repairs to the back stairway, including addressing dry rot issues, damaged railings, and steps, at a cost of $8,500. The building has undergone several infrastructure improvements over the years, including backyard stairway and deck repairs in 1996, and aluminum window installations in 1983.

The property experienced a cluster of housing code violations in August 2000, when multiple issues were identified including egress obstructions, lack of self-closing devices on exterior doors, improper gas meter instructions, and sanitation concerns. However, all these violations were promptly resolved within two weeks. More recently, there has been a pattern of waste management concerns in 2024, with multiple reports (at least seven instances) regarding waste receptacle maintenance, particularly pertaining to garbage toters being left out continuously. While these issues appear to be more about property management practices than structural or safety concerns, they may affect resident convenience. Additionally, there have been occasional reports of street cleaning and parking issues in the vicinity of the building, with the most recent being a resolved case of a blocked parking space in December 2024. A routine housing inspection from 2009 is noted as not active, though no significant violations were recorded during that inspection period.

Risk rating

How 148-152 Wetmore 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
66thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 382 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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