Inner Mission, SF 94110 4273026 5 units · 3 fl · 1910

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 2981-2987 25Th 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.

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 Lee Family Trust owns this 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building, constructed in 1910 in San Francisco's Inner Mission district. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a 400-amp electrical service upgrade with 5 meters completed in 2022. Notable past renovations include the replacement of 54 wooden double-hung windows in 2007 (which had initially been installed without proper permits), rehabilitation of rear stairs in 2006-2007, and a complete reroofing project from 1995. The building experienced multiple violations in 2000 related to fire safety, security, and stair repairs, which were all abated by October 2000, including the installation of new fire extinguishers and self-closing doors. Another notable complaint was filed in 2012 regarding electrical issues with laundry machines that was quickly addressed. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of parking enforcement matters, with several reports of sidewalk parking and driveway blocking between 2023-2024, though these parking issues are external to the building's operations and management.

The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure, with multiple stair repairs documented between 1995-2006, suggesting ongoing commitment to safety and accessibility. The presence of both building and electrical permits from 2022 indicates continued investment in the property's systems. While there were historical concerns about window installation and various safety violations in the early 2000s, all known issues have been addressed according to the records, with no active violations or complaints on file as of October 2023. The most recent building-related permits and inspections have focused primarily on infrastructure upgrades, particularly the 2022 electrical service modernization, which significantly increased the building's power capacity and modernization level. The property appears to be maintaining compliance with safety requirements, as evidenced by the absence of recent fire safety violations or building code citations.

Risk rating

How 2981-2987 25Th 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
29thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1690 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
