Rent & eviction protection

Is 222 Filbert 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.

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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 222 Filbert Street, owned by the Habegger-Mccabe Living Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and repairs since its construction in 1900. Most notably, in 2015, substantial improvements were made to the attic including the installation of a new furnace with associated electrical work (costing $36,000), along with new joist framing and access modifications. Prior to this, between 2011-2012, the building underwent considerable interior improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, sprinkler system updates, and electrical work totaling over $45,000, along with some discrepancies in permitted work that resulted in several complaints and inspections in mid-2011 related to electrical, plumbing, and interior surface issues. These complaints were primarily addressed by August 2011, though some concerning items included mold issues, deteriorating paint, and various interior repairs.

The building has experienced infrastructure challenges over the years, with multiple sewer backup incidents reported between February-April 2014, and some tree root-related sidewalk issues as of 2023. A significant inspection report in 2011 (CC-5974) prompted various repairs including electrical work, plumbing updates, and fire safety improvements. While the building has seen regular maintenance and upgrading of systems like roofing, heating, and sprinklers, there have been instances of unpermitted work, particularly during the 2011 renovation period, though these issues appear to have been resolved through subsequent inspections. The property's history also includes various planning records regarding conversion and renovation proposals, some of which were approved, including modifications related to its historic district status. More recent records show typical urban maintenance issues such as sidewalk tree root management and periodic sewer system maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 222 Filbert 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
49thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 349 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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