80-82 Goethe St

Outer Mission, SF 94112 7161044 3 units · 2 fl · 1900

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 80-82 Goethe 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 1900
2 or more units

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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 multi-family residential building at 80-82 Goethe Street, owned by Jeffrey Michael Ng, is a two-story structure built in 1900 containing three units. The property has a documented history of safety and code compliance issues, particularly regarding fire safety and stairs. Most notably, from 2000 through 2013, there were multiple violations related to rear stairway safety, including egress obstructions, handrail requirements, and fire extinguisher needs, all of which were eventually resolved, including a 2013 permit for repairing railings and balusters. The building also faced several gas safety compliance issues in 2000 and 2006, requiring the posting of instructional diagrams and provision of shutoff tools, as well as security concerns regarding sliding glass doors that were addressed in 2006.

In more recent history, there have been significant infrastructure challenges, with multiple reports of sewage back-up discharges from the side sewer vent occurring regularly between September 2024 and January 2025, suggesting a recurring plumbing issue. The property has also generated several reports of garbage and debris concerns in 2024, including reports of abandoned furniture and other waste. There were two complaints about a possible illegal unit in 2011 and 2014 regarding unit 82B, which reportedly had no kitchen, bathroom, and separate entrance, though these complaints were marked as not active. A routine inspection of the three units was conducted in 2006, and a significant development proposal was recorded in planning records for an 18-unit new residential condominium project which was closed but not clearly indicated as proceeding.

Risk rating

How 80-82 Goethe 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
59thpercentile

Out of 112 buildings in this neighborhood, 46 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
