Parkside, SF 94116 2350021 3 units · 2 fl · 1919

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 1134-1136 Taraval 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 1919
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 1919
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 mixed-use building at 1134-1136 Taraval Street, constructed in 1919 and currently owned by Flw88koifish LLC, contains three residential units and commercial space, with a significant history of improvements and maintenance. The property has undergone several substantial renovations over the past decade, including a complete reroofing project completed in September 2023 costing $15,800, and comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in Unit B in 2020 ($36,000), which included both plumbing and electrical upgrades. Earlier improvements include significant refurbishments in 2014 (kitchen and bathroom upgrades, water service line replacement) and 2012 (installation of new front windows, entry door, and ground floor modifications). The building's infrastructure has been consistently maintained, with electrical system upgrades including a 125A underground service conversion in 2005 and a 100-amp service upgrade in 2003, demonstrating proactive maintenance of essential systems.

The property has recently experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, particularly during the latter half of 2024, with numerous 311 calls reporting garbage, debris, and waste on the street and sidewalk areas, though these were promptly addressed by city services. There have been three documented incidents of graffiti in late 2024, affecting both public and private areas, including a bike rack and the building's commercial facade. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure upkeep, with the most recent major work being the 2023 reroofing. The property has also undergone tenant improvements in the past, including a dental office fit-out in 2011 with comprehensive electrical and plumbing installations.

Risk rating

How 1134-1136 Taraval 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
38thpercentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 158 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
