Rent & eviction protection

Is 225 Mallorca 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1929
2 or more units

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

226 Mallorca Way is a three-story, 21-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by 225 Mallorca Way Owner Lp. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, including a mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit completed in 2014 (as a Tier 2 building), and substantial apartment renovations in 2021-2022 involving multiple units (104, 105, 204, 305, and 304) with upgrades to kitchens, bathrooms, lighting, and installation of new appliances. A new fire alarm system was installed in 2021, including low-frequency horns and conventional smoke detectors, with a subsequent violation in September 2023 regarding exit sign illumination that has been abated. The building experienced two fire violations in 2023-2024 related to exit maintenance and sleeping area requirements, which were also abated, though historically had multiple fire safety issues requiring attention between 2001-2011.

The property has maintained active compliance with many building codes and safety requirements, as evidenced by the completion of the soft-story retrofit and various building, plumbing, and electrical permits totaling over $500,000 in recent improvements. A new hot water system was installed in December 2022, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and upgrades. Historical records show several fire safety violations requiring correction between 2001 and 2011, all of which were subsequently abated. The building has also experienced typical urban issues in the surrounding area as shown by 311 calls, though these are primarily related to street cleaning and parking enforcement rather than building-specific problems. The property's recent record shows substantial investment in modernization, safety upgrades, and maintenance, with no active building violations currently on record, though it continues to receive regular inspections and monitoring for fire safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 225 Mallorca 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
5thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 939 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
