Rent & eviction protection

Is 23 Mirabel Ave 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 1905
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.

Built 1905
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 three-unit residential building at 23 Mirabel Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Jessica McGowan-Vanderbeck, has undergone several significant upgrades and modifications since its construction in 1905. The most recent work, filed in early 2023, involves deck modifications including reducing the size of the third-story deck and widening the second-story deck, along with a new spiral staircase installation. In 2024, important infrastructure improvements include a 200A electrical panel upgrade and the installation of a new solar system. The property has received substantial renovations in 2021, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, and various plumbing improvements including sewer stack replacement and furnace installation. Historical records show foundational work was completed in 1999-2000, and the building had some maintenance issues in 2007 that were promptly addressed, including repairs to handrails and fire safety equipment.

More recent maintenance history includes three sewer-related incidents between 2023 and 2024, though these were resolved by city services. A tenant buyout was recorded in May 2023 for $9,400, and there is currently a proposal under review for interior renovations and potential additional dwelling unit modifications. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization, with most historical code violations related to a single incident in 2007 which were all resolved by January 2008. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since then, with no active violations or pending legal issues as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 23 Mirabel Ave'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
74thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 332 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
