Rent & eviction protection

Is 101 Broderick 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 1890

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

101 Broderick Street is a 4-story, 28-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1890 in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. The property, currently owned by 101 Broderick LLC, has undergone extensive recent renovations, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom upgrade in Unit 306 completed in August 2023, and a significant fire alarm system replacement project in May 2023 that included the installation of heat detectors in unsprinklered areas and low-frequency horns in sleeping areas. The building has demonstrated consistent maintenance and improvement efforts, with most units receiving kitchen and bathroom upgrades over recent years, including Units 103, 406, 205, 301, 402, 203, and 302 between 2016 and 2023.

Of particular note, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, installing steel moment frames and plywood shear walls to enhance seismic safety, achieving compliance with San Francisco's requirements. Recent fire safety concerns have been addressed, though there remain some open violations, including a sleeping area requirement violation issued in November 2023. The building has experienced periodic elevator outages (notably in 2012) and some past issues with heating and moisture control, as evidenced by multiple complaints from 2002-2003 regarding mold, water leaks, and heating problems. However, these historical issues appear to have been resolved, and the property has maintained an active program of unit improvements and safety upgrades, including the recent installation of heat detectors and fire alarm system improvements throughout the building. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to building systems, with particular focus on fire safety improvements, unit modernization, and compliance with current building codes.

Risk rating

How 101 Broderick 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.
