Rent & eviction protection

Is 36-38 Toledo 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

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 three-unit residential building at 36-38 Toledo Way, owned by Cary Benn and Yuan Z Cochrell, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925 in the Marina neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance events over its lifetime, including three recorded reroofing projects (1990, 1999, and 2006) and foundation reinforcement work in 1990, demonstrating proactive structural upkeep. A concerning incident involving carbon monoxide was recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported. In late 2020, there was a notable tenant buyout situation at a neighboring address (40 Toledo Way) involving five tenants and a payout of $50,002.

The property has generated numerous parking-related complaints in recent years, particularly between 2021 and 2024, with multiple documented cases of blocked driveways and sidewalk parking violations. Most of these incidents resulted in citations or were resolved through parking enforcement response, though some cases were marked as unable to locate the offending vehicle or were declared invalid due to incomplete reporting information. There was also one incident involving loose garbage that was misdirected to SFPD rather than 311. A planning violation was noted regarding an unauthorized addition of a dwelling unit at 36A Toledo Way, with concerns about insufficient ceiling height and potential building code compliance issues, though this investigation was ultimately closed with no violation found.

Risk rating

How 36-38 Toledo 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
