Rent & eviction protection

Is 388 Park 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 1907

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 1907
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, two-story multi-family residential building at 388 Park Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Andre & Joanna Gros-balthaz, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1907. Most recently, in April 2024, permitted work is underway for a kitchen and bathroom remodel in one unit, including updates to cabinets, countertops, appliances, and bathroom fixtures at a cost of $45,000. In 2022, the building received substantial exterior improvements including the replacement of 26 street-facing windows, repairs to dry rot siding, and a complete exterior repainting. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues related to security and access, with recent complaints (as of December 2024) regarding heating system deficiencies and problematic kitchen window gaps. A notable cluster of complaints emerged in 2017 regarding security vulnerabilities with the Andover Street garage and a rear patio gate, though these were marked as not active. Historical issues include a documented case of mildew in two bedrooms in 1993, with all previous housing inspections (1999, 2007) showing routine compliance.

The building's recent maintenance history shows active management, with multiple permits for upgrading and maintaining the property. However, there are some ongoing concerns worth noting: as of December 2024, there are active complaints regarding both heating system inadequacies and window issues in one unit. The surrounding area has experienced various municipal service calls in 2024, primarily related to street maintenance, including tree root damage to the sidewalk, though these are external to the building itself. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since a major code compliance project was completed in 1987, and regular updates to building systems and features suggest ongoing investment in property maintenance.

Risk rating

How 388 Park 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
30thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 893 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
