Rent & eviction protection

Is 25 Virgil 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 1936

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 three-unit residential building at 25 Virgil Street in the Inner Mission, owned by the Villarreal Revocable Trust, is a one-story flats and duplex structure built in 1936. The most significant recent building improvement was a major reroofing project completed in March 2020, costing $44,500, though this work was notably performed during San Francisco's shelter-in-place order, resulting in a complaint about six workers on-site during restricted conditions. The building has experienced two documented structural issues: a 2004 incident involving a collapsed fence and debris with exposed nails, and the more recent roofing-related complaint during the pandemic.

The property's location has been subject to various environmental and maintenance challenges, particularly noticeable in 2021-2024, with numerous reports of garbage, debris, and waste on and around the property (including human waste incidents in April 2022). The area has experienced recurring issues with abandoned items, including furniture and garbage, with the most recent incidents occurring between July and October 2024. There were also two encampment-related incidents reported in 2021-2022 near the property. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, evidenced by the substantial roofing project, though the timing of this work during shelter-in-place orders raises some concern about adherence to safety protocols during that period.

Risk rating

How 25 Virgil 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
60thpercentile
