Rent & eviction protection

Is 2355 Leavenworth 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 1928
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1928
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

This six-story, 36-unit multi-family residential building at 2355 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill, owned by Fixes Family Enterprises and constructed in 1928, has undergone significant recent improvements and faced multiple safety-related issues. The property has seen substantial upgrades in 2023, including a $60,000 voluntary seismic improvement to address non-ductile concrete vertical discontinuity, a $71,634 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current codes, and extensive washer/dryer installations across multiple units. A notable recent concern is an open violation issued in December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, though previous fire safety issues, including sprinkler system and alarm system problems from 2017 and 2022, have been resolved.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety compliance efforts, with substantial work completed in 2023 including retaining wall repairs and electrical system upgrades. Historical records show various tenant complaints and violations from 2005 through 2022, including concerns about smoke detectors, window issues, and dryer venting problems, though these have generally been addressed. Recent complaints as of 2024 focus primarily on exterior maintenance issues such as garbage and debris in common areas, which have been resolved according to city records. The property underwent significant renovations in 2022-2023, including multiple unit conversions and remodels, with associated plumbing and electrical work. Records also show at least two tenant buyouts in 2022, totaling $50,000.

Risk rating

How 2355 Leavenworth 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
5thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 1076 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
