Nob Hill, SF 94108 0213002 8 units · 3 fl · 1972

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1125 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 1972
2 or more units

Property type

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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

1125 Mason Street is a three-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building located in Nob Hill, constructed in 1972 and currently owned by the Irene Ai Fang Wong Qtip Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft story retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $120,000, which included the installation of steel moment frames and ply shear walls to enhance seismic resilience. The building's fire safety systems have been substantially upgraded, with a complete fire alarm system overhaul in late 2022 costing $34,800, followed by a 2023 revision to add wireless notification capabilities in sleeping areas.

The property has a history of maintaining compliance with safety regulations, with significant violations recorded in 2009 related to fire safety systems, emergency lighting, and egress accessibility; however, all these violations were resolved by June 2009. A recent complaint from December 2024 regarding slow kitchen water flow was promptly addressed within two weeks. The building completed its soft story retrofit under Tier 3 requirements, obtaining a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). External to the building itself, there have been various neighborhood maintenance issues documented through 311 calls in 2024, including reports of human/animal waste and graffiti near the property, though these are typical urban challenges faced by many San Francisco buildings and not necessarily indicative of building management issues.

Risk rating

How 1125 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
59thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 461 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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