2045 Cabrillo St

Central Richmond, SF 94121 1664043 12 units · 3 fl · 1924

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 2045 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 1924
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.

Built 1924
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

2045 Cabrillo Street is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924 in the Central Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by A&J Cabrillo LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the years, most notably a complete soft-story retrofit completed in 2020 (with an initial permit cost of $112,000) to improve seismic safety as mandated by San Francisco building codes. The property has experienced multiple maintenance and safety-related incidents that have required attention, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling work in Unit 7 in 2015, water damage repairs in multiple units in 2011, and structural work to address brick veneer issues above the garage door in 2014.

The building has encountered various safety concerns over its history, including a concerning structural complaint in 2013 regarding falling bricks and building stability, which was eventually abated in 2016. Fire safety has been an ongoing focus, with several fire alarm system incidents (often determined to be false alarms or malfunctions) and periodic issues with blocked exits, though most recent fire safety concerns have been addressed and corrected. In 2018, a lead paint complaint was filed regarding peeling paint near window seals, though this was abated by June 2019. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates and repairs, including roofing work in 1997 (according to expired permit records) and various unit-specific improvements. Recent tenant concerns have primarily centered around exterior issues, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations and garbage/debris concerns near the property in late 2024, though these are primarily street-level issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 2045 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2182 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.
