Rent & eviction protection

Is 130-132 Beulah 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 1904
2 or more units

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 1904
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 two-unit residential building at 130-132 Beulah Street in Parnassus/Ashbury Heights, owned by Kathy Roberts, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance challenges since its construction in 1904. Most recently, in 2024, the property had a major HVAC upgrade with the installation of Mitsubishi ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted units, following similar improvements made in 2018 when the building received a complete reroofing and solar panel installations totaling nearly 8 kW. The building has experienced recurrent water damage issues, particularly affecting Unit 132 in 2021 (requiring $15,000 in repairs) and Unit 130 in 2018 (requiring $15,000 in repairs). Several serious building code violations were documented in 2004, including unauthorized conversion of basement space to habitable use, unapproved electrical and plumbing installations, and fire safety concerns. These violations led to an active enforcement case with multiple notices of violation. More recent concerns were raised in 2022 regarding construction work potentially beyond permitted scope, though these complaints were eventually marked as not active.

The property has maintained an active maintenance and upgrade schedule, including bathroom remodeling (2018), rooftop solar installations (2014-2018), and recent HVAC improvements (2024). However, there have been persistent concerns about unauthorized unit conversions, with multiple complaints about illegal dwelling units filed between 2011-2012. The building's maintenance history shows regular responses to various issues including interior compliance matters (e.g., mold remediation in 2011-2012), though many historical complaints have been marked as not active or resolved. Recent building improvements suggest ongoing investment in property maintenance and modernization, though the presence of multiple historical violations and complaints indicates a pattern of regulatory compliance challenges that have required significant attention over the years.

Risk rating

How 130-132 Beulah 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
57thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 226 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
