Rent & eviction protection

Is 187 Beaver 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 1923

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 1923
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 residential building at 187 Beaver Street in Corona Heights, owned by Brix Andrew and Farfaglia Ric, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since 2021. Built in 1923, this two-story flats and duplex structure has seen substantial updates including a major $130,000 remodeling project in late 2021 that encompassed kitchen renovations in both levels, conversion of a lower-level office to a master bedroom, and exterior repairs to address rotting wood stairs. The property has had comprehensive improvements including structural repairs for termite damage, replacement of 23 windows with energy-efficient options, and major electrical upgrades including new electrical systems and panel installations. More recent work in 2024 includes the installation of new mini-split systems in both units, new bathroom additions, kitchen renovations, and plumbing updates, along with new gas supply installation.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to both interior and exterior improvements, though there are some historical issues worth noting, such as an expired reroofing permit from 2002 and a retaining wall replacement permit from the same year. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by several 311 calls between 2022-2024, primarily concerning street cleaning, parking issues, and one incident of medical waste (needles) in 2024, though all reported cases have been resolved. The property's recent renovation history suggests active maintenance and upgrading of the building's systems and infrastructure, with no significant safety concerns reported in the available data.

Risk rating

How 187 Beaver 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
94thpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 21 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
