Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 191-193 23Rd 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 property at 191-193 23rd Avenue, located in the Lake The Presidio neighborhood, is a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, featuring ground-floor commercial space, and owned by Pak Ping & Tsui Chun Yeung. The building has undergone several significant modifications over its history, with the most substantial work occurring in 2000, when a $220,000 alteration added a unit and off-street parking with a garage. Other notable improvements include a completed reroofing project in 2008 ($3,500), installation of a new trellis in 2001 ($3,500), and an extensive renovation of a dental office with ADA-compliant restroom facilities in 2001 ($50,000). The building experienced ventilation-related issues in 2002-2003, resulting in several notices of violation that were ultimately resolved through the proper installation of exhaust fans.

Recent maintenance and environmental concerns have emerged in 2023-2024, including issues with tree roots lifting sidewalks, damaged property claims regarding trees, and multiple reports of illegal parking in the vicinity. There have also been several municipal service calls regarding street maintenance, signage, and environmental services, though most of these cases have been resolved. Historical complaints from 2001-2002 noted unauthorized use of a rear structure for plumbing supply storage and ventilation deficiencies. The property has been actively maintained over the years, with all major violations being addressed through proper permits and corrections. The most recent building permit from 2014 was issued for street space improvements at minimal cost.

Risk rating

How 191-193 23Rd 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 515 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Permit rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building permit rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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