Rent & eviction protection

Is 81 Landers 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 1961
2 or more units
8 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM1
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1961
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 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 81 Landers St in Mission Dolores, owned by Derek Landers LLC, was constructed in 1961 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years. Most recently, in November 2023, there was a complaint regarding a non-functioning front door buzzer affecting senior food deliveries, which was resolved within two weeks. The building has a history of infrastructure concerns, with multiple complaints and violations between 2021 and 2013 indicating problems with basic systems and safety features, including dry rot, window damage, lead paint hazards, tile and plumbing issues, and a malfunctioning intercom system that has been a recurring problem. More serious concerns emerged in 2021 when multiple violations were documented, including building maintenance issues affecting multiple units, and there was a significant structural concern in 2015 following an incident where a vehicle damaged a support beam. The building has also undergone various repairs and upgrades, including handrail installation in 2013 to address a violation, exterior wall repairs in 2005, and historical improvements such as window replacements in 1983 and vinyl siding installation in 1994. While many issues have been resolved through appropriate permits and inspections, the recurrence of basic maintenance problems and aging infrastructure elements suggests ongoing challenges in building upkeep.

Risk rating

How 81 Landers 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
19thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 647 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
