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 267-271 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
7 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 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 7-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 267-271 Dorland Street, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the past years. Most notably, the property completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016-2017, which included structural upgrades with shear walls and moment frames, though this work initially generated multiple tenant complaints about building movement and safety concerns. In 2018, substantial exterior improvements were made including replacement of redwood siding, window upgrades, and back stair repairs. The building has experienced several maintenance issues, particularly during 2016-2017 when there were complaints about heating system failures and unauthorized construction work, resulting in tenant safety concerns. More recently, a fire safety violation was issued in March 2023 regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems, though this was subsequently resolved. The property has undergone various unit remodels including kitchen and bathroom updates, and electrical system upgrades, with the most recent plumbing work recorded in 2020 for a heating boiler replacement. Historical records show that the building faced multiple violations in 2002 related to stairs, fire escape maintenance, and lead paint hazards, though these were all abated by October 2002. The building's fire incident history includes several minor events, primarily related to cooking, smoke detection, and system malfunctions, with no reported civilian injuries in any incidents.

Risk rating

How 267-271 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
43rdpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 728 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 size

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

Building age

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