Marina, SF 94123 0467A044 8 units · 3 fl · 1926

Rent & eviction protection

Is 154 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 1926

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.

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-story multi-family residential building at 154 Mallorca Way in the Marina neighborhood, owned by the Philip & Emmy Chan Trust, was constructed in 1926 and contains 8 units. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, including a seismic upgrade in 1990 and reroofing work completed in 1998. More recent maintenance includes a sewer repair completed in 2012, along with three consecutive street space and sidewalk permits issued between 2008 and 2017, each costing $1.00.

The building's safety record shows one minor fire safety violation in 2002 regarding the maintenance of a fire escape drop ladder, which was promptly addressed and abated within weeks of being reported. Since that incident, there have been no recorded building violations or safety concerns related to the structure itself. The most recent activity associated with the property was a parking enforcement call in April 2024 regarding a blocked driveway, though this issue could not be validated by responding officers. While the building is of an age that typically requires ongoing maintenance, the documented permits and repairs suggest regular upkeep has been performed, with no significant safety or habitability issues reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 154 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
17thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 820 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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