Rent & eviction protection

Is 117-121 Ord 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 1910

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 1910
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 117-121 Ord Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, constructed in 1910. The building, currently owned by Brett Irwin Reynolds and Doni, has undergone several significant maintenance updates over the past two decades. Most recently, the roof was replaced in 2016 at a cost of $14,975. Previous major improvements include a comprehensive window replacement project in 2004, addressing 24 windows at a total cost of $12,500, and a deck and stairs replacement in 2003 costing $6,000. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, most notably in early 2002 when numerous violations were recorded, including problems with heating systems, mold/mildew on surfaces, various electrical issues, and concerns about interior surfaces. These violations were subsequently addressed and abated by August 2002.

The property has shown some recurring infrastructure and maintenance concerns, particularly related to heating systems, with inadequate heat complaints documented in 2003 and a 2016 complaint regarding peeling paint and potential lead hazards in a unit with an infant. Electrical systems have been updated over the years, including an underground electrical service conversion in 2005 and various electrical repairs. A notable historical concern was raised in 1997 regarding gas line safety, which remains active. Recently, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in the surrounding area, with the most recent incidents occurring in late 2024, though these primarily relate to street cleaning rather than building maintenance. The most recent building inspection record shows an active case from 2011, while several historical complaints and violations have been resolved and marked as not active.

Risk rating

How 117-121 Ord 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
37thpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 219 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
