Rent & eviction protection

Is 190-192 Collins 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1922
2 or more units
4 units
Property type

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1922
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 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 190-192 Collins Street, constructed in 1922, is currently undergoing significant renovations. Most notably, there are ongoing efforts to officially add a fifth unit to the ground floor, with permits filed in July 2024, while earlier this year (February 2024), substantial remodeling work was completed on four units including three kitchen and four bathroom renovations, with a reported cost of $166,197. Previous improvements include kitchen cabinet and gas range replacement in Unit 190B (2023), comprehensive unit renovations in 2019 at Unit 192B, and window replacements in 2013 to address a building complaint. The property has experienced some regulatory scrutiny, with a 2023 complaint alleging unauthorized modifications to Unit 192B, though all building inspection violations from 2003 and 2008 related to safety concerns like emergency exits, smoke detectors, and stair repairs have been resolved. Recent maintenance issues reported through 311 calls include a missing side sewer vent cover and a collapsed sidewalk (2024), though many of these recent complaints involve external factors like parking violations and tree maintenance needs. The property management has been active in making substantial improvements to the building's infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple permits for electrical sub-panel installations, plumbing upgrades, and various unit modernizations, highlighting an ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the property while working through the challenges of adding a new unit to the existing structure.

Risk rating

How 190-192 Collins 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

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
54thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 125 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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