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 962-964 Minnesota 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
2 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 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 property at 962-964 Minnesota Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Marc C. Guberman and Marshall Senn. This duplex underwent significant renovations in 2018-2019, including a comprehensive interior remodel of the first and second levels ($250,000), structural upgrades, and bathroom expansions. The project also included the addition of a new staircase between floors and garage modifications, with additional work on windows, doors, and a backyard patio. Several permits were secured for plumbing work during this period, comprising the installation of radiant heat systems, water heaters, and complete plumbing for 3.5 bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry facilities. Electrical upgrades included a 200-amp service upgrade and kitchen finish work, though one permit from 2005 expired and required a completion permit in 2020.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure, with roofing work and various system upgrades completed in recent years. The property underwent a condo conversion process in 2018, and all major renovation permits were properly closed out, with only a few withdrawn or incomplete applications. Between 2017-2022, there were several 311 calls related to the building's vicinity, primarily concerning sidewalk maintenance and general street cleaning issues, with one noise complaint noted in 2020. The immediate area had some infrastructure challenges in 2018-2020, including sidewalk collapses and utility-related issues, though these appear to have been addressed through proper channels. A tenant buyout was recorded in December 2016 for $56,993, affecting one tenant in the unit at 964 Minnesota Street.

Risk rating

How 962-964 Minnesota 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
59thpercentile

Out of 74 buildings in this neighborhood, 30 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
