Rent & eviction protection

Is 28-32 Elgin Park 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 1908

2 or more units

4 units

Property type

Multi-Family Residential

Zoning

RH3

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.

15+ years since occupancy

Built 1908

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.

Augrented Insights

Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 28-32 Elgin Park, owned by 28-32 Elgin Park LLC, was constructed in 1908 and contains four units. The property has undergone various significant improvements over the past decades, including a complete re-roofing project in 2014 costing $9,300, and major foundation work in 2009 involving concrete retaining wall installation and new floor joists for $40,000. In 2013, the building experienced heating system issues that necessitated a Notice of Violation (NOV) which was resolved by May 2013 through heating system updates, and during the same period, an air conditioning unit was installed. The cottage at the rear of the property received multiple improvements in 2013, including new heating and an electrical upgrade.

The property has maintained regular updates to its infrastructure, including bathroom remodeling in Unit 32 in 2010 with associated plumbing and electrical work, and various other repairs to address building systems. Historical data shows routine safety inspections occurred in 2003 and 2009 with no significant issues reported. The building's location has experienced recurring parking enforcement matters, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking violations and other illegal parking incidents between 2020 and 2024, though these are external to the building's operations. The most recent activity includes typical urban maintenance issues such as street cleaning requests. There have been no recorded fire incidents with civilian injuries at this address, and all known housing violations have been addressed and resolved.

Risk rating

How 28-32 Elgin Park'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

40th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 479 are predicted to be safer.

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast

No violation 41.3%

Moderate concern 19.9%

Severe concern 38.8%

Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
