Rent & eviction protection

Is 140-142 Capra Way 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 property at 140-142 Capra Way is a two-unit residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, constructed in 1935. The two-story flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant renovations over its lifetime, with the most recent major work being a $25,000 repair to address dry rot issues in the back stairs completed in August 2023. The building has experienced multiple compliance issues in recent years, particularly in 2022 and early 2024, including violations related to weather protection and the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance, though all these violations were eventually abated. Historical improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2010 ($20,000) and a kitchen expansion on the second floor completed in 1985.

The property has generated numerous 311 calls in the past year, primarily related to parking violations, with multiple citations issued between September 2024 and January 2025. A garbage and debris issue was reported and resolved in November 2024. In terms of planning records, there was an attempt to obtain a variance for rear yard and usable open space modification to extend the second-level rear kitchen, though this request was disapproved. A fire complaint was filed and resolved in April 2022. Tenant records indicate a buyout occurred at a different property (182 Avila Street) in December 2021 for $100,000 involving one tenant.

Risk rating

How 140-142 Capra Way'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
10thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 889 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
