Rent & eviction protection

Is 101-105 Steiner 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 residential building at 101-105 Steiner Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1900 and containing three units, is currently owned by the Sager-monberg Revocable Trust. The property has experienced significant recent challenges related to a lead abatement project conducted in late 2025, which generated multiple housing code violations due to inadequate containment of paint debris and dust, with specific concerns about lead paint safety. These violations, which were recorded on November 6, 2025, included issues with containment systems, window protection, and improper cleanup procedures, leading to concerns about health hazards for residents, particularly children. Multiple tenant complaints during October 2025 reported dangerous work practices, including the use of electric blowers to remove paint chips and dust, with dust reportedly migrating into adjacent public areas, including a nearby park. These safety concerns were serious enough to result in the property being designated as a nuisance under Section 1001-d of the San Francisco Housing Code.

The building's permit history shows some positive maintenance efforts, including a complete reroofing project in 2025 with a reported cost of $66,400, and voluntary ground floor strengthening work completed in 2022. The property has recently generated numerous 311 service requests, primarily related to graffiti (with multiple reports in 2026), sidewalk defects, and garbage issues, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. While the recent lead abatement project has been completed (as of December 2025), its execution raised significant resident safety concerns and regulatory compliance issues that should be noted. The building's overall service request record shows 253 total requests in the past seven years, with 4 complaints and 7 notices of violation recorded with the Department of Building Inspection.

Risk rating

How 101-105 Steiner 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
72th percentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 288 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 56.8%
Moderate concern 34.7%
Severe concern 8.5%
