192 Seal Rock Dr

Outer Richmond, SF 94121 1481019 5 units · 2 fl · 1953

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 192 Seal Rock Dr 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 1953
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 1953
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, five-unit multi-family residential building at 192 Seal Rock Drive in the Outer Richmond, owned by the Roth A Hensley Revocable Trust, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1953. The property has seen substantial window upgrades in recent years, with street-facing windows replaced in 2021 (cost: $37,005) and 2017 (cost: $25,565), demonstrating ongoing investment in building maintenance and energy efficiency. Major improvements were completed in 2007, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in all units, electrical and plumbing updates, structural beam replacements, and window modifications in unit #5 (cost: $100,000). The building's infrastructure has been systematically upgraded, with complete rewiring of all units, installation of new electrical panels, and plumbing improvements including a full copper re-piping in 2007.

Historical records indicate that the building was originally a four-unit structure with a guest room converted to five units in 2009, and there were some permit compliance issues in the past, including unauthorized kitchen remodeling in unit #5 in 2005, which was subsequently resolved. The property underwent significant safety and security improvements, including sprinkler system upgrades in 2008. Recent maintenance efforts have focused on window replacements and energy efficiency improvements. While there have been numerous 311 calls in the surrounding area during 2024, primarily related to street conditions and park maintenance, these appear to be more related to the neighborhood rather than specific building concerns. The most recent documented building improvements, particularly the 2021 window upgrades, indicate ongoing attention to building maintenance and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 192 Seal Rock Dr'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
10thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 936 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
