36-78 Addison St

Glen Park, SF 94131 7543031 15 units · 2 fl · 1968

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.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 36-78 Addison 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1968
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 Glenridge Apartments, located at 36-78 Addison Street in Glen Park, is a 15-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1968. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $81,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building has received consistent maintenance attention, as evidenced by recent electrical upgrades in September 2023 with multiple sub-panel replacements, and ongoing water heater maintenance with several replacements documented between 2013 and 2019. A notable renovation was completed in 2018 with the installation of a jetted walk-in tub, indicating improvements to tenant amenities.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to critical infrastructure, including a 2006 window retrofit project and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Historical violations from 2009-2013 have been resolved, including issues related to water heater installations, security features, and fire safety requirements. Recent 311 calls (2024) primarily relate to external issues such as parking violations and street maintenance, rather than building-specific problems. The property is classified as a Tier 3 soft-story building, and has received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), confirming the successful completion of seismic improvements. Recent open 311 calls (2024) include reports of noise, pavement defects, and garbage collection issues, which appear to be neighborhood rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 36-78 Addison 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 353 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
