Rent & eviction protection

Is 130-152 Gough 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.

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 three-story, 12-unit building at 130-152 Gough Street in Hayes Valley, owned by James & Victoria Shegoian 2 and constructed in 1900, has experienced several significant events and violations in recent years that warrant attention. Notably, in October 2019, the property was found out of compliance with San Francisco's mandatory soft-story retrofit program, resulting in violations related to earthquake safety, though this specific violation was subsequently abated in January 2022. More recently, on July 11, 2023, the building underwent a safety inspection of public and common areas, with the inspector's notes indicating several follow-up requirements for the property owner regarding structural maintenance and reinspection protocols.

A concerning lead paint complaint was filed in July 2023, suggesting potential health risks in at least one unit, though this complaint is no longer active. The building has generated a total of 192 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent complaints in 2025 involving residential building issues, garbage, and debris concerns. While two street space permits were filed in 2019 and 2020, and three Department of Building Inspection (DBI) complaints have been recorded in the past seven years, most recently regarding common areas in July 2023, it's important to note that all these complaints and violations are currently listed as not active. The property's repair and improvement history shows some responsiveness to regulatory requirements, particularly regarding the soft-story retrofit program, which represents a significant investment in building safety despite the initial compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 130-152 Gough 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
8th percentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 945 are predicted to be safer.
