Outer Richmond, SF 94121 1596018E 5 units · 2 fl · 1922

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.

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 4726 Cabrillo St 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 1922
2 or more units

Property type

RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1922
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 5-unit, 2-story apartment building at 4726 Cabrillo Street in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Chris & Shannon Mufarreh, has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements since its 1922 construction. Most recently, in December 2024, an electrical service upgrade was initiated to install a new 400-amp meter main service with six meters and replace existing sub-panels, representing a major infrastructure modernization. Prior improvements include a $25,000 reroofing project completed in 2020 and various interior updates including garage sheetrock replacement in 2003 and aluminum window installation in 1986. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the years, including a water leak incident in 2016, insufficient hot water reported in 2015, and electrical problems in 2018. A series of building violations were documented in 2003 related to fire safety and electrical systems, though these were all abated by early 2004. The property has a history of false fire alarm activations and smoke detector malfunctions, with nine such incidents recorded, none resulting in injuries. The most recent building safety concerns have been addressed through regular maintenance and upgrades, with no active violations or complaints on file as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 4726 Cabrillo St'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
7thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 967 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
