Rent & eviction protection

Is 132-136 Presidio Ave 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 1912
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 four-story multi-family residential building at 132-136 Presidio Avenue in Pacific Heights, owned by 132 Presidio Ave LLC, has undergone significant safety and modernization improvements since 2016. The 1912 building, containing three units, received a comprehensive fire safety upgrade in 2016-2017, including the installation of a new fire alarm system, tamper switches, flow switches, and a fire sprinkler system with underground piping. Major structural improvements were made in 2017, including the installation of new headers, posts, footings, and shearwalls. The building underwent substantial renovations including plumbing updates with radiant heating, PEX tubing, a new boiler system, and comprehensive bathroom and kitchen infrastructure updates across all floors in 2016. The renovation project generated several complaints in 2016 regarding construction dust, potential lead paint concerns, and questions about work beyond permit scope, though these issues were officially resolved.

Historical records indicate previous violations in 2006 related to the building's heating system, which were promptly addressed by December 2006. The building also had some plumbing modifications in 2012 to remove fixtures from an illegal unit on the first floor. More recently, there have been multiple parking enforcement calls in 2024 regarding vehicles blocking driveways, though these are unrelated to building conditions. The property underwent a significant alteration project to modify the mansard roof and add a roof deck, with associated discussions about the building's unit configuration. While there were some construction-related complaints during the 2016-2017 period, the most recent building permit records show no active violations, and all major systems (including fire safety, plumbing, and electrical) have been brought up to current standards through licensed professional work.

Risk rating

How 132-136 Presidio Ave'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

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 482 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.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 48.5%
Moderate concern 31.2%
Severe concern 20.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
