Rent & eviction protection

Is 1112 Larkin 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.

Annual rent increase cap

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 41-unit, 6-story building at 1112 Larkin Street, constructed in 1923, has experienced a series of significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with particular attention needed to its heating and electrical systems. Most concerning are the recurring heating system failures, with multiple complaints in 2023-2025 documenting complete building-wide heat outages, including reports of non-functioning radiators and lack of hot water. The building has also faced electrical safety concerns, most notably a 2024 incident involving a fire from a two-prong outlet, with subsequent complaints indicating hazardous electrical conditions throughout the building. A comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade was implemented in 2025, including the installation of new manual pull stations, smoke detectors, and horn strobes, suggesting previous fire safety infrastructure was inadequate.

The property has generated substantial activity over the past seven years, with 1476 service requests and 21 building inspection complaints, including 16 notices of violation and two final warning notices. Documented building violations from September 2020 included issues with common areas, water fixtures, and a damaged kitchen floor presenting a tripping hazard. Recent building improvements include a 2025 re-roofing project and modifications to comply with fire safety regulations. The building has a visible pattern of maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and safety, particularly in relation to heating systems and electrical infrastructure, though recent permit activity indicates ongoing efforts to address these issues through systematic upgrades and repairs.

Risk rating

How 1112 Larkin 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
6thpercentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 421 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
