Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 182-184 Douglass 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 1906
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1906
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 182-184 Douglass Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Cheng Bing Fun. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with substantial renovations completed in 2018-2019 including a new master bathroom, kitchen remodels, and comprehensive electrical/plumbing upgrades in Unit A, with permits totaling over $58,000. These improvements included the installation of new appliances, lighting, and electrical systems, as well as furnace relocations and bathroom modernizations. The building has maintained active compliance with housing regulations since addressing multiple violations in 2003 related to security, fire safety, and smoke detection systems, which were resolved by May 2003. Historical records from 2002-2003 show concerns about illegal units, though these issues were subsequently resolved.

Recent maintenance issues and neighborhood concerns have primarily involved exterior and common area matters, as documented in 311 calls throughout 2023-2024, including reports of graffiti, garbage, and debris on or near the property. While these issues were addressed by city services, they indicate ongoing exterior maintenance challenges. A notable complaint was filed in October 2018 regarding noise and objects being thrown from windows, though this issue was marked as not active. The building's electrical and plumbing systems have received significant recent upgrades, as evidenced by multiple completed permits between 2018-2019, suggesting proactive maintenance of essential systems. The property has a history of regular housing inspections, with one routine inspection currently listed as active (opened 2011) but without specified violations. While the building's recent improvements demonstrate investment in property maintenance, the pattern of exterior maintenance issues and historical violations suggests attention to both interior and exterior upkeep is required to maintain overall property standards.

Risk rating

How 182-184 Douglass 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
43rdpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 728 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
