Duboce Triangle, SF 94114 3540051A 7 units · 3 fl · 1904

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 115-121 Henry 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 1904

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 1904
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-story, multi-family residential building at 115-121 Henry Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Kwan Chuk & Margreta, was constructed in 1904 and contains 7 units. This property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $100,000 to address seismic safety concerns, with the work classified as Tier 3 and a Certificate of Final Completion issued. The building has seen substantial interior upgrades in 2022, including bathroom and kitchen renovations across multiple units, with associated costs of $10,000 and $13,000 respectively, and the installation of a new direct vent heater. Electrical system improvements have been more recent, with work completed in 2014 including an upgrade to an 8-meter, 400-amp service disconnect, though a more recent permit filed in April 2024 to replace electrical panels was cancelled.

The property has a history of maintenance and safety improvements, including foundation repairs in 2002 and multiple unit renovations over the years. In 2002, several violations were recorded relating to security, interior surfaces, and fire safety in a routine inspection, but these were all promptly abated by February 2003. A cluster of complaints was documented in 1996 regarding various maintenance issues including security concerns, but there have been no active violations since 2003. The most recent maintenance issues have been primarily related to routine updates and improvements rather than significant safety concerns. The building's location has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by 311 calls, primarily related to external matters such as sidewalk blocking, abandoned vehicles, and street cleaning issues, though these do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 115-121 Henry 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
26thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 212 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

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

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

Building size

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
