2025 Ofarrell St

Western Addition, SF 94115 1100042 7 units · 4 fl · 1914

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 2025 Ofarrell 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 1914
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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.

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

2025 O'Farrell Street is a 3-story multi-family residential building with 6 units, located in the Western Addition neighborhood and classified as a TIC building from 1914. The property has undergone significant improvements and maintenance in recent years, including a complete reroofing project in 2023 costing over $45,000, and substantial fire safety upgrades in 2021 that included replacing the fire alarm system, smoke detectors, and installing new low-frequency sounders. Notable modifications include the conversion of an existing space into an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in 2019-2020, which involved comprehensive work including electrical rewiring, plumbing installation for a small bathroom and kitchen, and the addition of a fire sprinkler system with 23 heads.

The building has a history of maintaining safety standards, with regular fire safety inspections and prompt resolution of violations. There have been recurring fire alarm system-related complaints between 2015 and 2024, all of which were marked as "Condition Corrected." The property completed its soft-story retrofit requirements as a Tier 3 building, achieving compliance. Historical issues from 2009 regarding fire escape maintenance, gas utility shutoff tools, and other safety concerns were resolved by April 2009. The building has experienced occasional false alarm incidents related to the fire alarm system, but no significant fires or civilian injuries have been recorded. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to street maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 2025 Ofarrell 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
46thpercentile

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 90 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
