Rent & eviction protection

Is 2330 Larkin 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 1922
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.

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

2330 Larkin Street is a 32-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently managed by Mehan Properties LLC, located in the Russian Hill neighborhood. The property has a documented history of water-related issues, with multiple complaints and violations between 2020 and 2023 regarding water damage, leaks, and interior deterioration affecting various floors and units. These issues prompted several repairs and system upgrades, including the installation of new hot water systems in 2020 and boiler replacements in 2020-2021. The building has also undergone significant structural modifications, including window fill-ins, a new fire wall assembly, and waterproofing work in 2017-2018, following various violation compliance requirements.

Safety concerns have been documented throughout the building's history, with recent issues including a potentially insecure back door reported in November 2024 and a currently active boiler permit renewal issue as of October 2024. The building experienced several fire safety concerns, particularly regarding blocked exits in 2021-2022 (with one violation issued), and has had recurring problems with security systems, including multiple fire alarm-related complaints in 2008, 2014, and 2017. Historical maintenance records show attention to basic infrastructure needs, such as reroofing work completed in 2017 at a cost of $63,500. While many violations and complaints have been resolved through various repairs and corrective actions, the frequent recurrence of water damage and security-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.

Risk rating

How 2330 Larkin 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
0thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 1133 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
