Rent & eviction protection

Is 136 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.

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 1961
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

Located in San Francisco's Forest Knolls neighborhood, 136 Locksley Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1961 and currently owned by 27th Avenue Apts LP. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past two decades, with the most recent being a $15,200 reroofing project completed in 2021. Substantial unit improvements were made between 2015-2019, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 2, 3, and 4, which involved new plumbing fixtures, electrical systems, and appliance installations. Historically, the building addressed serious structural concerns in 1998-1999 when it completed retaining wall work related to a landslide, and earlier repairs to wooden retaining walls in 1997, though the latter permit expired.

The building has an important history regarding fire safety compliance, with a significant cluster of violations documented in March 2003 related to fire escape ladders, combustible storage in the garage, and fire extinguisher maintenance - all of which were resolved by April 2003. A active routine housing inspection remains on record from November 2009, though specific findings and current status are not detailed in the available data. There have been minimal emergency incidents, with only one recorded false fire alarm and no civilian injuries. Recent maintenance issues have included attention to tree roots damaging sidewalks (2021) and catch basin maintenance (2010), though these were infrastructure-related rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 136 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
50thpercentile

Out of 50 buildings in this neighborhood, 25 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.

Building age

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