Rent & eviction protection

Is 1927-1931 Mcallister 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.

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 1900
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 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1927-1931 McAllister Street in Park North, owned by 1927 McAllister Associates, has undergone significant maintenance and improvements since its construction in 1900. The most recent substantial upgrade occurred in 2019, involving comprehensive unit improvements valued at $30,000, including new kitchen cabinets, appliances, bathroom fixtures, and associated electrical and plumbing work. Between 2015-2019, the property received substantial structural attention, including two re-roofing projects (2015), voluntary structural strengthening ($75,000) for the ground floor, foundation work (both brick-to-concrete replacement in 2010 and deteriorated foundation repairs in 2015), and installation of ufer grounding systems. Historical records show a concerning set of issues in 1994, including problems with central heating, possible gas leaks, earthquake damage, plumbing issues, and deteriorating window frames, though these were addressed and resolved. The building has undergone regular routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2003, 2009, and 2012, with no active violations noted. Recent exterior maintenance has been documented through two general cleaning cases in 2020 and 2022, both related to street and sidewalk conditions. The property's maintenance record shows consistent investment in structural and safety improvements over the years, with no recent patterns of persistent maintenance issues or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1927-1931 Mcallister 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

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
23th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 614 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 units

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 46.2%
Moderate concern 35.0%
Severe concern 18.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
