Rent & eviction protection

Is 124-128 Fillmore 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 1902
2 or more units

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.

Built 1902
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 124-128 Fillmore Street property is a three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1902 and currently owned by the David Scott Nale 2000 Trust. The building has undergone significant recent modifications, most notably the legalization and upgrade of a basement accessory dwelling unit (ADU) between 2018-2022, including the installation of a residential fire sprinkler system, electrical and plumbing work, and associated safety monitoring systems. The building's history includes several concerning events between 2015-2017, particularly related to construction activities, with multiple complaints about excessive noise levels (reportedly exceeding 80 decibels), potential lead dust hazards, and safety concerns during rooftop deck construction. While these issues were labeled as "Not Active" after investigation, they indicate a period of significant tenant disturbance. The building has also experienced various maintenance and compliance issues, including blocked exits (2015) and multiple fire safety system activations, though no injuries were reported. Historical complaints from 2000-2009 included issues with unauthorized short-term rentals, concerning a possible conversion from a three-unit building to transient rental use, though these violations appear to have been addressed.

Recent activity at the property primarily consists of routine maintenance and cleanup actions, as evidenced by multiple garbage and debris-related 311 calls in late 2024, though these are generally not indicative of serious building issues. The building's permits and construction history show substantial investment in upgrading systems and legalizing previously unauthorized spaces, including work to comply with physical inspection reports and various safety improvements. The most recent significant building work appears to have been the 2022 completion of fire safety monitoring systems, which followed previous permits for ADU-related improvements. The property has maintained an active permit history, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance with regulatory requirements, though some permits from 2018-2021 show as expired or renewed, indicating typical administrative processes associated with building modifications.

Risk rating

How 124-128 Fillmore 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
84thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 164 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 size

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

Building age

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