56 Mallorca Way

Marina, SF 94123 0467A031 4 units · 3 fl · 1925

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 56 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 1925
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.

Built 1925
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

56 Mallorca Way is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, built in 1925 and currently owned by the Chow Randal G & Karen Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent major work occurring between 2014-2017, including comprehensive unit upgrades such as kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical system enhancements, and plumbing improvements. Specific notable upgrades include a bathroom remodel in 2017 costing $22,000, an electrical upgrade with new circuits and system components in 2014, and multiple plumbing works including water pipe replacements and fixture updates in 2014. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, with earlier works from the 1990s including roofing, stucco removal, and shower repairs.

A significant cluster of building violations was recorded in March 2002, primarily relating to heating systems and safety features, though all were resolved by July 2002. These violations included issues with heat provision, fire escape maintenance, and various safety requirements. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in recent years, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with multiple complaints filed between 2023-2024, though most cases could not be validated or resulted in no specific enforcement action. Recent service-related incidents include sanitation and sewer concerns, with the latest being a resolved case in December 2024. The building's location has experienced periodic issues with street cleaning and parking violations, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2023-2024, primarily related to enforcement of parking regulations rather than building-related concerns.

Risk rating

How 56 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
39thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 603 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
