Rent & eviction protection

Is 110-116 Frederick 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 1909

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 1909
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 40-unit apartment building at 110-116 Frederick Street, owned by Mulberry Tree LP, is a 4-story multi-family residential structure built in 1909 in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. The property underwent significant improvements in recent years, including the installation of a new fire alarm system with sprinkler monitoring in 2021 costing $90,506, and the addition of five new ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) in 2020 per San Francisco Ordinance 162-16, which included complete electrical and plumbing upgrades for each unit. The building successfully completed its mandatory Tier 3 soft-story seismic retrofit program, though it initially faced violations for non-compliance in late 2017, which were resolved by January 2018.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2019 and 2020, including complaints about common area fire escape locks, a non-functional buzzer system, and concerns about structural cracks during ADU construction. There were also periods of significant work requiring temporary utility shutoffs in October 2019, which generated tenant complaints. Recent fire safety inspections in 2023-2024 have noted some recurring issues with alarm systems and a sleeping area requirement violation as of November 2023, though these have typically been resolved promptly. The building's infrastructure improvements include several plumbing upgrades between 2013-2021, such as sewer line replacements and new heat pump installations. While the building has had multiple fire alarm activations and system malfunctions recorded between 2006 and 2024, there have been no reported civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 110-116 Frederick 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
0thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 581 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
