Rent & eviction protection

Is 2339 Jones 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.

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

2339 Jones Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Russian Hill, owned by Derek Eckert and constructed in 1917. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent months, with the most pressing concern being an active building violation filed in September 2023 regarding an unsafe retaining wall between 2339 and 2349 Jones Street, which led to a compliance order in December 2023 to remove and rebuild the existing wall. This violation was generated by a complaint about unpermitted work on the retaining wall and potential safety concerns. In late 2023, the building underwent window improvements, replacing 14 existing vinyl and aluminum windows with Title 24 compliant wood/clad Marvin windows, and safety glass where required, at a cost of $28,000. The building is currently scheduled for re-roofing work in March 2024, with an estimated cost of $22,960.

The property's maintenance history shows various improvements over the years, including a 2018 complete rewiring of Unit #3 and installation of new lights, outlets, and switches, along with a sub-panel relocation. Historical records indicate a completed vinyl siding installation to the rear wall in 1992 and an earlier re-roofing project in 1996. There have been multiple street space permits issued for the property in 2017 and 2006, though the specific purposes are not detailed in the records. The surrounding area has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with seven documented cases of driveway blocking between 2021 and 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management in the vicinity. A 2021 graffiti incident was also recorded and resolved through city services. The property's recent history shows active maintenance and improvement efforts by the current ownership, though the unresolved retaining wall issue represents the most significant current concern.

Risk rating

How 2339 Jones 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
95thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 57 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
