Rent & eviction protection

Is 146-150 Freelon 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 1908
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

146-150 Freelon Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908 and owned by Darryl Sr & Eileen Tillman. The property underwent a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 (Tier 4) at a cost of $35,000, which was successfully completed. Recent improvements have focused primarily on window upgrades, with three separate window replacement projects completed between 2017-2023, including the most recent work in June 2023 involving two retrofit vinyl windows. Significant exterior maintenance was performed in 2013 with the replacement of approximately 2100 square feet of siding on the west wall.

The building has experienced several safety-related incidents and inspections over the years. Three routine housing inspections in December 2003 revealed multiple issues including unstrapped water heaters, excessive storage in common areas, and ceiling surface concerns, though these were all abated by April 2004. A fire safety inspection in 2008 noted blocked exits, and a subsequent investigation in 2014 regarding unpermitted stair and deck construction was also resolved. The property has had several fire alarm activations recorded between 2008-2019, though all were either false alarms or system malfunctions with no associated injuries or fire incidents. Recent monitoring from 2024-2025 has shown recurring issues with street conditions around the property, including garbage and debris reports, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 146-150 Freelon 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
75thpercentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 108 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.
