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 91 Bennington 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.

Built 1904
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 91 Bennington Street in Bernal Heights is a one-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, containing two units and featuring a flat & store configuration (4 units or less) under the ownership of Kate K Rosenberger. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the past two decades, including a 2014 renovation that added three sinks with associated plumbing work (completed at a cost of $1,000), and substantial accessibility improvements in 2004-2006 that included modifications to interior walls, new accessible entrances, and replacement of a wood frame floor with a concrete slab in the retail space (total costs approximately $37,000). The electrical systems received attention in 2017 with a panel relocation and additional circuits, and earlier upgrades in 2006-2005 included the installation of lighting, switches, receptacles, and an underground conversion.

The building has experienced some safety concerns, including multiple fire code violations documented in October 2021. More recently, there have been several parking-related issues in the vicinity, with numerous 311 calls between 2023-2024 regarding abandoned vehicles and illegal parking, though these do not directly affect the building's condition or safety. A mandatory dwelling unit merger was proposed, seeking to reduce a two-bedroom unit to one-bedroom status, though it was noted that the units were not comparable in size. The property has also been involved in commercial activities related to The Epicurean Trader specialty grocery and deli counter at a nearby address on Cortland Avenue, with related permits and approvals documented through the Planning Department.

Risk rating

How 91 Bennington 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
40thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 766 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
