Rent & eviction protection

Is 25-27 Ord 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 1908
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 1908
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 25-27 Ord Street property is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, built in 1908 and currently owned by 25-27 Ord Street LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a voluntary structural and fire assembly upgrade in 2006 costing $40,000 to enhance first-floor life safety systems, and a furnace replacement with new exhaust flue installation in 2017. The property experienced two routine housing inspections in 2002 and 2011, during which multiple fire safety and security violations were identified and subsequently abated, including issues with fire extinguishers, fire escape ladders, handrails, combustible storage, and exterior door requirements. While the most recent building permits from 2006 were primarily related to street space usage, the plumbing works from 2017 indicate recent maintenance activity.

The surrounding area has seen various service requests in recent years, with 311 calls in 2024 primarily concerning street lighting issues, sidewalk cleanliness, and sidewalk parking enforcement. There have also been reports of graffiti (December 2023), tree-related concerns (October 2021), and a missing street name sign (March 2021), all of which have been resolved. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing safety concerns promptly, though it's notable that the most recent significant building improvement dates back to 2017, which is of particular interest given the building's age and historical context.

Risk rating

How 25-27 Ord 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
41stpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 205 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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