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 221-225 14Th 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.

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 1908
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 221-225 14th Street in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by the Adelina M Kalinga Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the years. Major structural work included the replacement of rear stairs in 2006 due to dry rot issues, while other substantial renovations encompassed reroofing in 2003, floor leveling and kitchen upgrades in 2002, and the installation of a new gas fireplace in 2001. The property has encountered multiple fire safety concerns, particularly during 2020 when violations were issued for electrical systems, sprinkler/standpipe systems, blocked exits, and street numbering issues, though these were subsequently corrected. While there have been several fire response incidents recorded, including cooking fires and false alarm activations, none resulted in civilian injuries.

Recent maintenance work includes plumbing updates in 2018, though more recent records show ongoing environmental challenges in the vicinity, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and encampments near the property between 2024 and 2025. While the building itself requires attention to these external factors, it's worth noting that the property has maintained compliance with multiple building codes since previous violations were addressed, including 2015 and 2017 extinguisher concerns and a 2021 alarm system issue, all of which were marked as "Condition Corrected." The most recent building permit activity from 2008, primarily for final inspections, suggests that the major structural work completed years ago was properly concluded, though it's important to recognize that no building permits have been recorded in the last 15 years.

Risk rating

How 221-225 14Th 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
45thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1309 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

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