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 200-204 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 two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 200-204 Funston Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district was built in 1908 and is currently owned by the Fubini-Merzenich Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and encountered multiple safety and maintenance issues over its history. Most recently, in March 2014, street-visible windows were replaced with new Marvin wood and vinyl windows at a cost of $6,000. The building underwent substantial improvements in 2006-2007, including a $50,000 renovation of all four units' kitchens and bathrooms, electrical work, and addressing various repairs.

Important safety concerns emerged between 2006-2011, including multiple violations and complaints regarding water heaters (three improperly installed units in 2007), electrical hazards (exposed wires and lighting issues in common areas), and plumbing problems. A routine inspection in March 2011 identified issues with fire extinguisher placement and required access for inspections. The electrical system received significant upgrades, including an underground service conversion completed in 2003 with 200A service and four meters, and various wiring improvements in 2006-2007. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing both routine maintenance and emergency repairs, with most violations being resolved within reasonable timeframes. A false fire alarm incident was recorded, but no civilian injuries were reported.

Risk rating

How 200-204 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1344 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.

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.

Building age

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