Rent & eviction protection

Is 101-103 Lower Ter 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 1928
2 or more units

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 1928
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 3-unit multi-family residential building at 101-103 Lower Terrace in Corona Heights, owned by Nancy Bianchi, was constructed in 1928 and has experienced several significant structural and maintenance issues over its history. Most recently, in October 2023, slope protection work was initiated with a $15,000 project involving shotcrete installation. This followed previous concerns about the property's retaining wall and deck stability. Between 2006-2024, the building underwent multiple remedial works including the installation of a sump pump and associated electrical work in October 2024, catch basin repairs in 2013, and various electrical and plumbing upgrades related to kitchen and bathroom remodeling. The property had serious structural concerns in 2006-2021, including violations related to unauthorized alteration work, drainage issues, and deck safety, though these were eventually abated by 2024. Historical records show the building was verified as a three-unit structure in 2008, and earlier renovations included kitchen and bathroom updates, though some permits from 2003 and 2006 expired. More recent civil service reports indicate various municipal maintenance issues in the vicinity, including graffiti and tree maintenance needs, though these are external to the building itself. A fire complaint from 2018 was determined to have no merit.

Risk rating

How 101-103 Lower Ter'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
46thpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 188 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
