Rent & eviction protection

Is 2160-2168 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
17 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 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

The 5-story, 17-unit apartment building at 2160-2168 Leavenworth St, built in 1928 and currently owned by Daryabi LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2022-2023, there were concerning reports of water damage and potential mold issues in the bedroom and living room of one unit (units 501) with walls described as warped and bubbly, alongside problems with an improperly vented dryer system that required multiple notices of violation before being addressed in July 2023. The building has a history of infrastructure maintenance work, including a $33,000 reroofing project in 2022 and various plumbing and electrical upgrades, such as backflow prevention device relocation in 2013, shower valve replacement in unit 202 in 2008, and electrical improvements in unit 5 in 2013.

Recent fire safety concerns include an open violation issued December 16, 2023, regarding sleeping area requirements, while previous violations from 2022 and 2017 related to sprinkler systems, electrical systems, and hazardous materials were found to have no merit. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural issues, with records of wall repairs and code compliance work going back to the 1980s. A total of 15 street cleaning and parking enforcement-related 311 calls were made in 2024, primarily concerning blocked driveways and garbage issues, though these are external to the building itself. The property has undergone various routine inspections and responded to multiple complaints, indicating active management engagement, though some historical complaints about backflow tagging (2001) and renovation dust control (2008) suggest occasional lapses in compliance with safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 2160-2168 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
4thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 1088 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
