Rent & eviction protection

Is 184-186 Jordan 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 1921

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 1921
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

This 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 184-186 Jordan Avenue was built in 1921 and is currently owned by Leung Ling Po & Chang Annie. The property has undergone significant improvements and renovations over the past few years, with the most recent work focusing on deck modifications and rear yard fence installation in April 2024, following previous extensive renovations. Major recent improvements include the installation of 51 sprinklers throughout the building in 2022 (completed), a comprehensive exterior stucco replacement in 2023, and several interior updates in 2022 including window and door replacements, kitchen modifications, and skylight additions. The building has received multiple plumbing upgrades, including tankless water heater installations, bathroom remodels, and complete electrical rewiring improvements in 2021.

The property has a history of addressing safety concerns, with fire sprinkler systems installed throughout the building in 2022 and two direct vent gas fireplaces added in 2022. A building complaint was filed in April 2020 regarding non-essential remodeling during shelter-in-place orders, though this case is currently listed as not active. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned street and sidewalk cleaning issues, including reports of garbage and debris, though these are external to the building itself. Notably, there was a tenant buyout at the property in August 2019 for $125,000 involving one tenant at unit 186. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and improvement work, with multiple permits showing systematic renovation and upgrading of various building systems, including plumbing, electrical, and fire safety systems, suggesting active management and maintenance of the property.

Risk rating

How 184-186 Jordan 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
95thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 14 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
