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 295-297 Dorland 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 1900
2 or more units

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 1900
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 property at 295-297 Dorland Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by the Bleecher Family Trust, the building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years. Recent improvements include a 2023 sleeping area violation that was abated on 11/02/2023, a 2022 sprinkler/standpipe system inspection with no merit found, and a 2016-2017 series of updates including kitchen remodeling (replacing appliances and water heater), electrical work, and plumbing improvements. The building has experienced three documented fire-related incidents: a malfunctioning alarm system, an outside rubbish fire, and a contained cooking fire, none resulting in civilian injuries.

The property underwent a routine apartment house inspection in 2008 that revealed multiple safety requirements, including the need for fire extinguishers, gas meter instructions, shutoff tools, and door glazing reinforcement, though all these violations were abated by June 2008. Historical maintenance work includes a 2015 kitchen remodel (water heater conversion), a 2009 replacement of a wooden side ladder with a steel one, and a reroofing project dating back to 1991. A series of 311 calls from late 2024/early 2025 primarily relate to street-level issues such as garbage, debris, and parking concerns, which appear to be more related to the neighborhood than the building itself. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and prompt attention to violations, with most issues being resolved in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 295-297 Dorland 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
34thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 843 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
