184 Funston Ave

Lake Street, SF 94118 1372026A 12 units · 3 fl · 1926

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 184 Funston Ave 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.

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 12-unit multi-family residential building at 184 Funston Ave, owned by Marvin A Remnich Rev Tr 200, has a history dating back to its construction in 1926. Over the years, the property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements, with the most recent being electrical upgrades in September 2023, including the installation of new exit signs in common areas. The building has faced numerous challenges related to building maintenance and safety systems, particularly between 2013-2014 when multiple complaints were filed regarding wood stairs, lead paint, and appliance issues. A notable cluster of violations occurred in 2001 related to fire safety and security systems, including problems with fire escape ladders, exterior door self-closing devices, and lead paint hazards, though all were abated by September 2001.

The property has maintained an active schedule of safety inspections and repairs, including the replacement of the commercial water heater in 2010 and the installation of underground electrical conduit in 2003. Fire safety has been a recurring focus, with multiple alarm system inspections and corrections noted between 2015-2023, and violations related to door hardware and fire alarm records in 2016 that were subsequently abated. Recent 311 calls from 2021-2024 primarily relate to external issues such as graffiti, street cleaning, and noise complaints, which are not directly related to building conditions. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to safety systems and prompt response to violations, with all documented violations and complaints having been resolved or abated.

Risk rating

How 184 Funston Ave'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
3rdpercentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 640 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
