Rent & eviction protection

Is 140 Locksley Ave 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 1961

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.

Annual rent increase cap

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

140 Locksley Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Forest Knolls and built in 1961, currently owned by Dennis M & Marisa Koenig 20. The building has a documented history of addressing significant structural concerns, including landslide repairs in 1998 and 1999 involving a buried concrete retaining wall, with these being the most substantial construction-related interventions on record. In March 2003, the property underwent a series of safety violations related to fire safety and security, including the need for smoke detectors, self-closing exterior doors, and removal of combustible storage from the garage; however, all these violations were resolved by September 2003. The building has been subject to regular housing inspections, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in August 2017.

Recent maintenance and infrastructure issues have emerged, particularly in 2024, with reports of water quality concerns (discolored water), tree root problems affecting sidewalks, and sidewalk defects. Multiple tree maintenance requests were filed and resolved in 2023, suggesting ongoing attention to landscaping maintenance. The most recent building-related concerns involve infrastructure issues such as water quality and sidewalk maintenance, rather than safety or structural problems. Two fire-related incidents were recorded, but neither involved civilian injuries or significant damage, primarily relating to assistance and smoke removal. The property's permit history shows minimal residential improvements beyond the original 1993 window installation (which expired) and the previously mentioned landslide repairs.

Risk rating

How 140 Locksley Ave'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
56thpercentile

Out of 50 buildings in this neighborhood, 22 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.

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.
