Rent & eviction protection

Is 131 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.

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 1912
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 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 131 Albion Street in Mission Dolores, managed by the Schreiber Family Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1912. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 4), demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. Recent plumbing issues have been a prominent concern, with multiple complaints in early 2024 regarding water heater installations and pressure problems, though these were eventually addressed. The building has an active complaint regarding an unauthorized laundry room installation from 2020-2021, which was reportedly completed with proper permits in 2021, along with related electrical work.

The property has a documented history of fire safety monitoring, with multiple fire alarm system upgrades, including a wireless system installation in 2017. Several fire inspection violations have been noted and corrected over the years, typically involving alarm systems or extinguishers. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety issues, including decayed stair framing replacement in 2017 and various plumbing repairs. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, particularly involving water pressure and heating systems, most recent inspections and permits indicate these issues have been addressed properly. Historical complaints from 2006 regarding various building systems, including electrical and plumbing issues, were resolved within a reasonable timeframe, suggesting active management of building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 131 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.
