Rent & eviction protection

Is 124 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
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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

The property at 124 Locksley Ave is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building owned by the Panigada Family Living Trust, located in the Forest Knolls neighborhood and built in 1961. The building's maintenance history shows several significant roofing projects, with work completed in 1989 and 1999, and a dry rot repair was completed in 1986. The building underwent a routine housing inspection in March 2003 that revealed multiple fire safety violations, including an obstructed fire escape with flower pots and loose combustible storage in the garage, though these issues were resolved by April 2003. Subsequent routine inspections occurred in 2009 and 2017, with no noted violations in the records.

The most recent maintenance issue occurred in September 2024, when a sewage backup discharge from the side sewer vent was reported and subsequently resolved. The building has experienced various neighborhood issues typical for the area, as documented through 311 calls, including reports of abandoned vehicles, sidewalk defects, and encampments, particularly during 2021-2022. While these external neighborhood issues were noted in the 311 calls, they generally relate to the surrounding area rather than direct building concerns. The property's documented history shows regular maintenance and prompt resolution of violations when they occur, with the most significant historical issues being related to fire safety in 2003 and roofing maintenance in the late 1990s.

Risk rating

How 124 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
40thpercentile

Out of 50 buildings in this neighborhood, 30 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

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.
