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 123-127 Collingwood 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.

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 1900
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 123-127 Collingwood Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Lavender Youth Recreation &. The building has undergone significant transformations over the past few years, with the most substantial being the construction of a new one-story annex building at the rear, approved in 2021 for $225,000, intended as a youth center. Recent improvements include comprehensive fire safety upgrades with the installation of a new fire protection system (2023), underground fire water piping (2023), and sprinkler monitoring systems (2024), totaling over $50,000 in fire safety improvements. The building's infrastructure has also seen significant upgrades, including HVAC replacement and electrical system improvements (2024), plumbing modifications including the addition of tankless water heaters (2023), and various interior modifications to improve accessibility and functionality.

The property has a history of compliance issues, particularly between 2008-2011, when there were violations related to an unapproved change of use from a multi-unit dwelling to a community center, leading to abatement proceedings. However, these violations were ultimately resolved. Recent maintenance and service issues have been relatively minimal, with the most significant recent concern being a fire code violation issued in July 2024. The building's location has experienced some external maintenance challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding graffiti, garbage, and debris on the property exterior, though these issues have typically been promptly addressed. The property underwent substantial renovation and repurposing work through various permits, demonstrating significant investment in both safety systems and adapted use as a community facility for LGBTQ+ youth services.

Risk rating

How 123-127 Collingwood 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
46thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 690 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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building permits (past 7 years)

Number of permits pulled at this address — construction or renovation activity over 7 years.
