Rent & eviction protection

Is 25 Wawona 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 1925

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 1925
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 2-unit multi-family residential building at 25 Wawona Street in West Portal, owned by Jessie & Robert Roth Revoc, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1925. Most notably, in 2018-2019, a comprehensive bathroom remodel was completed on the second floor, including the installation of new plumbing fixtures, electrical work, and waterproofing. The building has received regular maintenance and upgrades, including a 2018 window replacement project (installing energy-efficient vinyl windows), a 2010 reroofing project, and historical repairs such as termite remediation in 1993 and kitchen facilities removal from the basement in 1990. The property has experienced multiple fire alarm activations since 2024, though all were unintentional with no fires or injuries reported.

Recent activity indicates ongoing maintenance and some safety concerns at the nearby 5 Lenox Way address, with various fire safety violations documented between 2019-2024, including issues with sprinkler systems, standpipes, emergency lighting, and evacuation plans, though most have been marked as abated. The property has seen recent tenant activity, with a $70,000 tenant buyout recorded in December 2024 at 1 Claremont Boulevard, though the building itself has no recorded buyouts. The building's exterior environment has experienced various urban challenges in early 2025, including reports of graffiti, sidewalk parking, and debris issues, all of which were addressed through normal city channels.

Risk rating

How 25 Wawona 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
79thpercentile

Out of 24 buildings in this neighborhood, 5 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
