Rent & eviction protection

Is 107-119 Kissling 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 before 1979
Built 1907
2 or more units

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 1907
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 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 107-119 Kissling Street, constructed in 1907, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2023, the building received multiple violations including concerns about lead-based paint, damaged ceilings, plumbing issues, security requirements related to locks, and a missing smoke detector. Earlier incidents in 2022 involved serious electrical problems, including exposed wiring, problematic dimmer switches, and a potentially dangerous smoke detector installation. The building has a history of infrastructure challenges, with documented issues including mold and mildew (2007), bathroom and bedroom repairs (2007), and stair repairs (1994). There were also concerns about building slope affecting doorways (2014) and a water heater safety violation (2003). The property underwent some permit-related work in 2018 (street space), and previous violations from 2000 regarding fire safety were abated in 2002.

The building's recent inspection history reveals ongoing maintenance concerns, with the most recent complaint indicating hazardous conditions including potential lead exposure, security issues, and structural maintenance needs. Multiple 311 calls in 2024 have been filed regarding various issues, primarily parking-related concerns, though these are not directly related to building conditions. Historical planning records show an attempt to expand and improve the property by combining two buildings, adding units and parking, though this proposal was disapproved. The 2023-2024 period shows the most concentrated set of recent violations and complaints, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident safety concerns. While some past violations have been resolved, patterns of recurring issues in areas such as security, plumbing, and structural maintenance are evident throughout the building's history.

Risk rating

How 107-119 Kissling 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
