Rent & eviction protection

Is 128-130 Precita 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 1912

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 two-story multi-family residential building at 128-130 Precita Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Marks & Rosenfield 2016 Tru, was constructed in 1912 and currently contains two units. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2022 when approximately $50,000 was invested in garage renovations, including wall conditioning, insulation, plumbing modifications, and electrical work. This project also included the addition of a catch basin and a furnace. A subsequent garage improvement project was completed in October 2022 to partition the space for parking and add storage under stairs, followed by additional electrical work including new circuits, lighting, and air conditioning. A plumbing permit from January 2023 confirmed the installation of a new garage floor drain and catch basin.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, including a reroofing project completed in 2007 at a cost of $8,800. Recent street-level issues in the vicinity of the property have been primarily related to parking violations, with multiple incidents of sidewalk parking reported between 2022-2024, though most of these resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. There have been some recent concerns about street cleanliness and a damaged tree reported in July 2024, though these cases remain open. The property has maintained compliance with housing and safety codes, as evidenced by the successful completion of various permits and absence of recorded safety violations, suggesting responsible management of the building's infrastructure needs.

Risk rating

How 128-130 Precita 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
99thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 13 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.
