Rent & eviction protection

Is 25-27 Dolores Ter 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 1914
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 two-unit residential building at 25-27 Dolores Terrace in Mission Dolores, owned by the Ward Family Trust, was constructed in 1914 and is a two-story flats/duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work being the installation of an unoccupied living roof and maintenance rail above the garage, with permits issued in 2022 and originally in 2019. A substantial safety upgrade took place between 2014-2019, with the installation of a new fire sprinkler system (NFPA 13R) throughout the building, including a 2-inch underground fire service line, following as-built drawings completed in 2016. The building received a comprehensive electrical upgrade in 2014, including a 300-amp underground service installation, and multiple plumbing improvements including bathroom and kitchen fixture replacements, radiant heating systems, and roof drain connections.

The property's history includes one notable building complaint from October 2014 regarding unauthorized construction work, though this was abated within a week. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned street-level issues such as encampments, graffiti, and general sidewalk maintenance, with the most recent activity being a garbage and debris complaint in October 2024. These external issues appear to be typical for the neighborhood and not directly related to the building's condition or management. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, with all major safety systems installed or renewed properly, including fire safety, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 25-27 Dolores Ter'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
88thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 96 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
