Rent & eviction protection

Is 21 Bromley Pl 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 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.

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 three-story multi-family residential building at 21 Bromley Place in Pacific Heights, owned by Robert C III & Clare L Gord, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since 2019. Most notably, in early 2024, the property received comprehensive remodeling work including kitchen, bathroom, and powder room renovations, with associated plumbing and electrical permits issued totaling approximately $113,000. Recent structural maintenance includes an issued permit from March 2024 for repairing perimeter flooring on the first floor, demonstrating ongoing attention to building maintenance. Previous improvements include roof deck repairs in 2019, window replacements, and geogrout application work near the property line. The building has maintained regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1996, 2002, and 2016, with no significant violations recorded.

The property's recent history shows active management with prompt attention to maintenance and improvements, though there have been some infrastructure challenges noted through 311 calls, including a sewage backup in 2018, damaged sewer vent cover in 2019, and various sidewalk-related issues. The building's recent renovations and repairs suggest proactive property management, with particular focus on maintaining both structural integrity and modern amenities. A recent carbon monoxide detector activation was recorded, but no CO was detected and there were no civilian injuries. The building has also had multiple street space usage permits issued in 2019 and 2020, though specific details of these permits are not provided in the records.

Risk rating

How 21 Bromley Pl'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
60thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 385 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
