Rent & eviction protection

Is 132-138 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 1908

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.

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 132-138 Albion Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Golden Properties LLC, was constructed in 1908 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2019 (Tier 3) to comply with San Francisco earthquake safety requirements. Major renovation projects were carried out in 2014, including kitchen and bathroom remodels on the first floor ($16,000) and the replacement of drywall due to water damage ($6,000). Earlier structural work from 2007 addressed foundation bolting and dry rot repairs at the rear stairs ($5,000).

The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly in the early 2000s when multiple violations were recorded, including problems with peeling paint, window security, water damage, and storage around water heaters. A series of building complaints in 2014 indicated unauthorized construction work, though this was eventually addressed. Fire safety inspections in 2009 noted the need for smoke detectors in enclosed stairs and stair repairs, which were subsequently resolved. More recently, between 2023-2025, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning issues, including reports of garbage, debris, and sidewalk blockages near the property, though these were not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 132-138 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
29thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 567 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.

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.
