Rent & eviction protection

Is 172-182 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 1907
2 or more units

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 1907
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, 3-story multi-family residential building at 172-182 Linda Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Daniel E. Woodward, was built in 1907 and has undergone significant renovations and compliance updates in recent years. The most substantial recent work was completed in early 2024, including comprehensive remodeling of 5 of the 6 units featuring new kitchens, bathrooms, laundry facilities, electrical systems, and heating equipment, with a permit value of $572,722. The building has successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program requirements, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status as a Tier 3 building, though there was a violation notice in 2020 due to prior non-compliance that was ultimately resolved. Fire safety improvements were made in March 2021, when violations for extinguishers, electrical systems, and combustible materials storage were issued and subsequently abated.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and compliance work, including plumbing upgrades (new water heaters, furnaces) and electrical improvements (new 400-amp service, rewiring of units) completed in 2024. Previous improvements include a bathroom remodel in 2014, reroofing in 2013, and various repairs to address building codes and safety requirements. Early 2000s violations related to stairs and gas utility requirements were all resolved by October 2002. The building underwent routine apartment inspections in 2002, 2006, and 2020, with all identified issues being addressed. Recent 311 calls mainly pertained to street-level concerns such as flooding, graffiti, and park maintenance, rather than building-specific issues, indicating that the property has generally maintained regulatory compliance and addressed safety concerns as they arise.

Risk rating

How 172-182 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
26thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 591 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
