Rent & eviction protection

Is 16 Gladys 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 1908
2 or more units
? units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1908
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 16 Gladys Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Reed Mariko, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1908. Most notably, major structural work was completed in 2013-2014, including comprehensive basement reinforcement with new anchor bolts, plywood, and post & beam work, along with foundation improvements and retaining wall replacement (though the retaining wall permit ultimately expired). The building has received several important updates in recent years, including a sewer lateral replacement in 2023, reroofing in 2022, and siding replacement in 2015. The property underwent significant modernization in 2012 with kitchen and bathroom remodeling, furnace replacement, and substantial electrical upgrades including a new 225-amp service panel installation.

The building's maintenance history shows responsive addressing of safety concerns, particularly during a 2011 routine inspection that identified violations related to fire extinguishers and building attachments, though these were resolved by early 2012. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property and its immediate vicinity, these primarily relate to parking issues and street maintenance rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent building-related activity includes a water leak report in November 2024, though this appears to be a municipal water service issue rather than a building defect. The property's comprehensive record of permits and inspections suggests regular maintenance and attention to structural integrity, with no active building violations on record.

Risk rating

How 16 Gladys 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
78thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 281 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

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