Rent & eviction protection

Is 116-118 Magnolia St 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 1900

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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 two-unit residential building at 116-118 Magnolia Street, owned by Audrey Difilippo, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1900 in the Marina neighborhood. The building's documented history shows minimal major structural work, with only one significant building permit on record from 1986 for termite damage repairs, though this permit has since expired. The property's most notable recent issues have centered around street cleanliness and public maintenance concerns, particularly during the latter half of 2020 when there were multiple reports (seven cases in total) of various cleanliness issues including loose garbage and waste on or near the property's vicinity. More recently, there have been sanitation-related incidents reported in 2023-2025, including a case involving human waste or urine in January 2025, though this was marked as resolved with no work needed. The property experienced a parking enforcement issue in November 2021 regarding a blocked driveway, though the case was deemed invalid due to insufficient reporting information. Additionally, there were two noise-related complaints recorded in 2020, one related to general noise and the other specifically about entertainment noise, with both cases being closed with appropriate departmental notes.

Risk rating

How 116-118 Magnolia St'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
70thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 296 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
