Rent & eviction protection

Is 209-211 Francisco 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 1908
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1908
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 residential building at 209-211 Francisco Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Delfino Rosaline & Vincenzo 9, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908. The property has undergone several significant upgrades over the years, most notably the replacement of its electrical service panels in June 2024, which represents important modernization of the building's infrastructure. Previous improvements include a $14,000 reroofing project completed in 2015, and a bathroom remodel with dry rot repair and upgrades completed in 2002 that cost $20,000. A roof replacement project from 2002 was issued but appears to have expired without completion records.

The building and its vicinity have experienced several municipal service interactions, particularly between 2008-2011, when there were multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the area. These complaints were generally resolved promptly, with one vehicle being towed in October 2008. More recent municipal interactions include a hazardous materials incident in August 2019 involving liquids on the street, and a garbage and debris report in September 2024, both of which were resolved. A 2014 complaint regarding litter receptacle placement was investigated and determined that the buildings had standard garbage service with no reported issues. The most recent building improvements, particularly the electrical panel upgrades, suggest the property is receiving necessary maintenance, though the 2002 expired roof permit raises some questions about the complete history of roofing work.

Risk rating

How 209-211 Francisco 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
98thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 14 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 age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
