101 Point Lobos Ave

Outer Richmond, SF 94121 1492001 32 units · 4 fl · 1928

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 101 Point Lobos 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.

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 32-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 101 Point Lobos Ave in the Outer Richmond, owned by Point Lobos Investors LP, is a 1928 construction that has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges over recent years. Between 2012 and 2014, the building underwent extensive improvements, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units (101, 103, 205, 206, 207, 208, 304, and 408), electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements totaling over $160,000. Major infrastructure work included a complete electrical service upgrade with 33 meters, a roof replacement, boiler replacement, and sewer pipe work in 2017, alongside the installation of a rooftop antenna in 2012.

The building has faced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly in recent years. Notable concerns include multiple active violations from 2017 related to lead paint disturbance, smoke alarm system certification, wall repairs, and fire safety requirements, as well as a 2023 violation regarding sleeping area requirements. There have been several heating system complaints, particularly in 2012-2014, and electrical system upgrades were necessary following various unit renovations. Recent fire safety inspections in 2022-2023 identified issues with sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and sleeping area requirements, though most were promptly corrected. The building's exterior has experienced ongoing challenges with street cleanliness, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and waste removal, though these are primarily related to street conditions rather than building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 101 Point Lobos 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
0thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 1040 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.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

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