3121-3125 Castro St

Glen Park, SF 94131 6727023A 3 units · 2 fl · 1931

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 3121-3125 Castro 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 1931

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 1931
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 3121-3125 Castro Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1931, containing three units and classified as a Flat & Store (4 units or less) structure. Owned by the Krackeler Family Trust, this Glen Park building has undergone several significant maintenance updates, most recently completed a re-roofing project in October 2024 costing $10,000, which follows a historical pattern of roofing work including completed projects in 1989 and 1994. The building experienced a notable health and safety issue in July 2013 when multiple violations related to lead paint hazards were documented, though these violations were resolved by September 2013 with appropriate remediation measures taken.

The property has maintained regular upkeep with various permits for improvements and maintenance, including a garage door opener installation in 2004 (though now expired). Recent 311 calls for the surrounding area primarily relate to parking and street maintenance issues, including two instances of driveway blocking in 2023-2024 and various street-related concerns like illegal postings, graffiti, and a manhole cover issue noted in December 2022. While these exterior maintenance issues generally do not directly impact the building's habitability, they represent ongoing urban infrastructure challenges in the immediate vicinity. The building's permit and violation history suggests active management of major infrastructure components, particularly the roofing system, while the 2013 lead paint incident highlights the importance of proper maintenance to address potential safety hazards.

Risk rating

How 3121-3125 Castro 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
8thpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 335 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.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Building age

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