Rent & eviction protection

Is 2120 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1964
2 or more units
5 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1964
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-story residential building at 2120 Jones Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, owned by Kristopher & Jan O'Connor 2, consists of five units and was constructed in 1964. The property has experienced a significant number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling 229 reports, with an unusually high concentration of parking-related issues in 2026. Between April and July 2026, there were six documented incidents of illegal parking in the vicinity, with at least two resulting in citations and one being marked as a duplicate complaint.

Despite the high number of service requests, the building has only undergone minimal permitted improvements during this period, with two building permits issued totaling $15,001 in construction costs. The disparity between the number of service requests and permitted improvements suggests that most reported issues have not required or resulted in formal building modifications. While the illegal parking incidents in 2026 represent the most substantial recent activity, it's worth noting that these concerns are external to the building itself and primarily related to street conditions rather than building management or maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2120 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 510 are predicted to be safer.
