16 Linda St

Mission Dolores, SF 94110 3588063A 6 units · 2 fl · 1924

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 16 Linda 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 1924
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1924
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 6-unit, 2-story apartment building at 16 Linda Street in Mission Dolores, built in 1924, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory Tier 3 soft-story seismic retrofit in 2014 at a cost of $30,000, achieving Compliance with the San Francisco Building Code. The property has seen consistent attention to infrastructure upgrades, including a complete plumbing system overhaul in 2015 (installation of new drains and sewer systems) and a hot water system replacement in 2008. Several building violations were recorded in 2011, primarily related to fire safety and maintenance issues, including problems with fire escape maintenance, weather proofing, and concerns about lead-based paint, all of which have since been abated.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its heating system, evident from multiple complaints between 1998 and 2005 regarding inadequate heat supply and boiler operation permits. Three street space permits were issued for the property between 2002 and 2018, with the most recent in 2018. Recent maintenance history shows fewer internal building violations, with most recent issues being related to exterior maintenance and parking concerns. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in 2023, primarily related to parking violations and street cleaning issues outside the building. The most recent building permits and improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property's infrastructure, while historical violations indicate past challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance that appear to have been addressed.

Risk rating

How 16 Linda 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
38thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 495 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
