102 Bradford St

Bernal Heights, SF 94110 5656002 2 units · 1 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 102 Bradford 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 1900

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 two-unit multi-family residential building at 102 Bradford Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Dolan Fmly Tr, has a century-long history dating back to 1900. The property has undergone several significant renovations, most notably in 2013 when Unit B received a substantial $27,000 remodel of its bathroom and kitchen including plumbing, electrical work, and drywall installation. Earlier improvements included a comprehensive electrical upgrade in 2005 with a 200-amp conversion and new underground utilities installation, as well as multiple bathroom-related renovations in 2012 involving plumbing and electrical work, though some of these permits expired. A concerning cluster of maintenance issues was documented in January 2008 through a housing inspection complaint, which reported multiple problems including a broken stove, bathroom window, heating system, leaky roof, damp bathroom floor, and leaky toilet, though these issues were marked as abated within the same day.

More recent history shows mostly external and infrastructure-related concerns, with several 311 calls between September and December 2024 regarding street and sidewalk maintenance, including a pavement defect and a blocked sidewalk issue that remains open. Two fire-related incidents were recorded, though neither involved civilian injuries - one was a water or steam leak and the other was a malfunctioning alarm system. The property had a weed and grass issue addressed in mid-2023, which was corrected by September. Tenant buyouts in the immediate area include a recent transaction in July 2024 at 73 Carver Street for $16,000 involving two tenants, though no buyouts are directly associated with 102 Bradford Street in the available records. The building's long history includes various improvements and maintenance challenges, with the most recent decade showing relatively few internal issues compared to earlier years, though attention to the surrounding infrastructure has increased significantly.

Risk rating

How 102 Bradford 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
50thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 638 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
