40 Albion St

Mission Dolores, SF 94103 3555031C 4 units · 2 fl · 1954

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 40 Albion 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 1954
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1954
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 multi-family residential building at 40 Albion Street in Mission Dolores is a two-story, 4-unit apartment complex built in 1954 and currently owned by Macpartlin-reardon Revoc Lv. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most substantial concerns occurring in 2001-2002 when multiple violations were recorded, including problems with water damage, interior surfaces, heating systems, emergency exits, and fire safety equipment. During this period, the building underwent various repairs, including kitchen floor work in Unit #2 and stair repairs, with most issues being resolved by August 2001. More recent historical issues include a bathroom leak in 2002, unauthorized demolition work, and a 1998 heat system failure, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building received a routine safety inspection in 2008, which was resolved without any noted ongoing concerns.

The property has had a consistent pattern of maintenance issues, particularly during the early 2000s, but appears to have stabilized in recent years with no major building violations recorded since 2003. While there was a fire-related complaint in late 2021 that was resolved in early 2022, there haven't been any similar complaints or violations in recent years. The building's most recent history shows an active response to exterior cleanliness issues, with multiple 311 calls about garbage and debris along the street in 2024, though these are primarily related to public space maintenance rather than building-specific concerns. The property has undergone regular inspections and responded to various maintenance issues over time, with the most recent building-related complaints being resolved promptly through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 40 Albion 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
48thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 415 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.

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.
