Jordan Park/Laurel Heights, SF 94118 1043014 3 units · 2 fl · 1949

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 87-91 Manzanita 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.

Built 1949

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 1949
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-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 87-91 Manzanita Avenue in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood was constructed in 1949 and is currently owned by Manzanita Ave LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major works focusing on energy efficiency and infrastructure upgrades. In 2018, twelve windows were replaced with more energy-efficient units (U-factor 0.30), and in 2017, both the electrical panel and water heater were upgraded. The building received a comprehensive renovation in 2011, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling in units 87 and 89, the installation of three new furnaces and ducts, and associated electrical upgrades. Earlier maintenance work includes reroofing projects completed in 1998 and 2014, totaling over $40,000 in improvements.

The property has a history of compliance issues that have been addressed through proper channels. In 2009, there was a violation regarding dryer ventilation that was subsequently corrected with appropriate permits and work completed at a cost of $800. A notable cluster of violations was recorded in 2004 related to fire safety, including emergency exiting, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and combustible storage under egress stairs; however, all these violations were promptly abated within approximately one month. The building's maintenance and improvements suggest active management, with no current open violations or complaints. The most recent maintenance records indicate regular attention to building systems and compliance with housing codes, with all identified issues being properly addressed through appropriate permits and inspections.

Risk rating

How 87-91 Manzanita 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

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
26thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 201 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

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