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 120-124 Liberty 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.

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 1892
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 120-124 Liberty Street is a 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1892, owned by Tricia Darnel Erber. The building, located in the Liberty Hill Historic District, has undergone significant maintenance and improvements over the past several decades, with recent work including window replacements, deck repairs, and plumbing upgrades. Between 2014 and 2018, the property had multiple maintenance projects completed, such as replacing wooden windows in 2018, repairing a backyard deck in 2017, and updating the water line from galvanized steel to copper in 2016. Historical records indicate that the building experienced several violations in late 2000 and 2007, primarily related to maintenance issues such as damaged ceilings, smoke detector replacement, window repairs, and stair repairs, though all these violations were abated by early 2008.

Recent activity at the property has shown ongoing external maintenance work, including multiple street space permits and cleaning efforts, though some recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have been logged for issues such as sidewalk blocking and noise. Planning records indicate approved modifications for building improvements, including the construction of a new 2-car tandem garage with roof deck and additional stairs. The building's maintenance history demonstrates consistent attention to structural and safety requirements, with all known violations having been addressed and resolved. Recent permits and maintenance work suggest ongoing care for the property's historical features and infrastructure needs, though the building remains subject to typical urban environmental factors as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding street and sidewalk conditions.

Risk rating

How 120-124 Liberty 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
47thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 677 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
