Duboce Triangle, SF 94114 3538018 3 units · 3 fl · 1905

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 82-84 Sanchez 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 1905
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 1905
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 three-unit, three-story residential building at 82-84 Sanchez Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by the Ahearn-verloop Family Lvg T, has been standing since 1905 and has undergone several notable events throughout its history. The property has experienced three significant Housing Inspection Services inspections in 2002, 2006, and 2011, with the 2006 inspection revealing a serious safety concern when a rotted window sill on the fourth floor caused wood and glass to fall onto the sidewalk, which took nearly a year to resolve. The 2002 and 2011 inspections identified multiple safety issues requiring attention, including fire safety violations such as egress obstructions, improper garbage receptacle placement, and gas utility-related concerns, all of which were resolved by September 2002.

Recent activity around the property suggests ongoing environmental maintenance challenges, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and abandoned items on the street, including instances of furniture, mattresses, and various debris. The building's most recent inspection records show no active violations or complaints related to the structure itself, though there are still some unresolved noise complaints from December 2024. Two documented fire-related incidents occurred at the property, but neither resulted in civilian injuries, with one incident classified as excessive heat/scorch burns with no ignition, and another classified as a special type of incident. While the building has a history of safety-related issues, these appear to have been addressed in a timely manner based on available records, with no recent violations recorded against the building structure itself.

Risk rating

How 82-84 Sanchez 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
54thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 132 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
