Rent & eviction protection

Is 115 Dolores 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 1924

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 1924
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 building at 115 Dolores Street is a six-unit, three-story multi-family residential structure constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Christine S Ramos 2012 Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2017 (cost: $65,000), installation of a new boiler system in 2016 with appropriate backflow certification, and reroofing work in 2021 ($26,400). Notable recent upgrades include a fire alarm system modernization completed in 2023 ($20,400), which involved installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to comply with fire code requirements, and the creation of a new laundry area in 2021 ($3,000).

The building currently faces several concerning issues that warrant attention. Most pressing is an active violation filed in April 2024 regarding an operating boiler permit for a unit installed in 2015, though a subsequent complaint from January 2024 about inadequate heating was resolved in January 2024. Additionally, there have been multiple complaints and service requests regarding heating problems during winter 2024, including reports of limited heating hours and temperature concerns. The building's fire alarm system has experienced multiple documented malfunctions and false alarms, as recorded by the fire department, though no civilian injuries have been reported. The property has a history of parking enforcement issues, with several complaints about driveway blockage in recent months. While significant safety improvements have been made to the building, including seismic retrofitting and fire system upgrades, the recent heating system permit violation and associated tenant complaints suggest ongoing challenges related to building systems maintenance and compliance.

Risk rating

How 115 Dolores 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.
