Rent & eviction protection

Is 831 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 1913
2 or more units

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 1913
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-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 831 Cabrillo Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, owned by the Blossom Gong Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and infrastructure events since its construction in 1913. The most substantial recent improvement occurred in 2015, when the front facade underwent a complete stucco replacement project costing $18,000 to maintain the building's original design and materials. Essential infrastructure work was performed in 2011, including the replacement of the sewer line from the curb to the building and street space/sidewalk repairs. The building's roofing system was addressed in 1995, though this permit is now expired, and a separate plumbing permit was issued in 2011 for related work. Historical records from 1982 and 1995 show additional permitted work, though specific details are not available.

Recent activity around the property includes multiple 311 calls, primarily related to street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns. In 2024, there have been two reported encampments near the property, with one still open as of September 2024. Parking enforcement issues have been recorded in 2015 and 2019 for driveway blocking incidents involving different vehicles, both of which were resolved. The only building-specific issue noted was a non-offensive graffiti incident in 2015, which was promptly addressed by the Department of Public Works. While the building's essential infrastructure appears to have received necessary attention over the years, the surrounding area's recent encampment issues and parking challenges may be of interest to prospective residents.

Risk rating

How 831 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
59thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 706 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
