Rent & eviction protection

Is 80 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 1912

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.

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

80 Elgin Park is a 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, containing 13 units and currently owned by George L & Charlotte Masson. The property has undergone several significant safety and modernization projects in recent years, including a mandatory fire alarm upgrade filed in August 2023, the completion of its Soft Story compliance in 2017 (with a $29,000 permit), and various unit renovations such as the $28,000 kitchen and bath renovations in Unit #5 in 2018. The building has faced several safety and maintenance issues that required attention, most notably a 2024 complaint regarding a leaning pole in the rear yard that was addressed in April 2024, and multiple active violations from May 2023 concerning fire escape maintenance and compliance documentation. There was also a significant plumbing and electrical complaint in July 2022 regarding leaks and deteriorated equipment in Unit #11, and a 2019 violation for failure to comply with the Mandatory Soft Story Tier III requirements, though this was ultimately marked as not active in June 2022. The building has maintained compliance with fire safety inspections, with recent fire system checks in 2021 and 2023 showing no merit or condition corrections needed.

The property has a history of addressing various building code and safety requirements, including routine safety inspections and multiple unit renovations over the years. Historical records show improvements such as a reroofing project in 2003 ($8,500) and earlier unit renovations in 1988. The building has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls from 2022 to 2024, indicating ongoing challenges with access to the property. While many historic violations have been resolved, current active complaints from 2023 regarding fire escape maintenance and compliance documentation suggest there are still outstanding safety compliance issues to be addressed.

Risk rating

How 80 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

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
11thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 711 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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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