Rent & eviction protection

Is 102-104 Santa Marina 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
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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

102-104 Santa Marina Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Raymond D. Trew. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with particular attention to addressing structural issues. Most recently, in November 2024, the building received a new roof valued at $10,500, and in October 2024, a 200-amp electrical meter pedestal was installed. The building has a documented history of addressing dry rot and structural concerns, with repairs completed in 2023-2024 including work on garage trim (2017), garage door widening (2013), and front stairs (2006).

The property has experienced some notable incidents and maintenance challenges, including a complaint in March 2024 regarding potential foundation undermining due to adjacent construction, and a 2006 incident involving improper asbestos shingle removal procedures. Multiple 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to street cleaning issues, including reports of garbage, debris, and liquid spills, though these external issues were resolved through appropriate channels. Two significant renovation projects were completed in the mid-2000s: the addition of a master bathroom and closet facilities in 2005, and substantial electrical upgrades in 2006 including new lighting, switches, receptacles, and panel work. The building's documented history shows consistent attention to maintenance and necessary repairs, with most recent work focusing on infrastructure updates like roofing and electrical systems.

Risk rating

How 102-104 Santa Marina 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
31stpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 880 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
