Noe Valley, SF 94114 6509009 4 units · 2 fl · 1922

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 124-128 Jersey 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.

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 124-128 Jersey Street is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922 in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood, currently owned by Edward A & Ikuko K Korthof. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, with the most recent work in 2022 involving both dry rot repair and tile replacement in the entryway, totaling approximately $10,500 in improvements. The building has received regular maintenance, including bathroom remodels in 2012 (with related plumbing and electrical work), window replacements in 2008, and kitchen updates. Major systems upgrades include a solar installation in 2011 (5.3 kW system), furnace replacements in 2008, and plumbing work including sewer and house trap updates in 2011.

The property faced several building violations in 2009 regarding security and fire safety issues, including the need for self-closing exterior doors and automatic sprinklers over garbage receptacles; however, these violations were abated by December 22, 2009. The building has also experienced occasional maintenance issues, with documented water damage repairs in 2015 and various other internal improvements. More recently, there have been multiple parking enforcement issues on the street in 2024, with several citations issued for blocked driveways, and one open complaint regarding excessive noise from September 2024. The building's owners have consistently addressed maintenance and improvement needs, as evidenced by the numerous building permits and completed work over the years, though there was one instance of unpermitted work related to ground floor tiles that required a subsequent permit.

Risk rating

How 124-128 Jersey 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
35thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1221 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
