Rent & eviction protection

Is 88 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 1915

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1915
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

88 Elgin Park is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, containing 6 units and currently owned by 88 Elgin Park LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a completed voluntary lateral upgrade in 2014 that involved retaining wall strengthening and concrete work, as well as a fire alarm replacement project currently filed for 2024 to meet updated safety codes. The building successfully completed its seismic retrofit as a Tier 3 soft-story building and received its Certificate of Final Completion. Recent maintenance issues were documented in 2023-2024, including multiple violations related to building security, maintenance of handrails, weather seals, and unit identification numbering, all of which were abated by August 2023. Historical compliance matters include a 2014 complaint regarding fire escape access and security concerns, and various violations from 2003-2007 related to garage maintenance, unauthorized construction work, and fire escape servicing, which have all been resolved.

The building's recent history indicates improved compliance with safety regulations, particularly following the 2023 violations which triggered multiple Notices of Violation (NOVs) and a final warning letter. The property has undergone significant infrastructure improvements, including electrical upgrades and a complete fire alarm system replacement. While historical complaints show various maintenance and security issues, recent records suggest active management response to violations and ongoing maintenance efforts. External factors affecting the property have included reports of graffiti (2022), rodent problems (2007), and multiple reports of garbage/debris (2023-2024), though these issues appear to have been addressed. The building's documented history shows a pattern of proactive addressing of safety and maintenance concerns, particularly in recent years, while also highlighting the age and ongoing maintenance requirements of a 108-year-old structure.

Risk rating

How 88 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
34thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 527 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
