Rent & eviction protection

Is 2222-2226 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.

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 1909
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 residential building at 2222-2226 Larkin Street in Russian Hill is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1909 and currently owned by Michael Park. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2012, there was an unauthorized construction issue involving a roof deck and greenhouse, which led to multiple violations requiring their removal and reverting the area back to unoccupied roof space, with the work eventually completed in 2013. The building has maintained its infrastructure through various updates, including a complete reroofing project in 2008 costing $15,000 using sprayed urethane application. Several safety-related violations were addressed promptly, including the installation of required one-inch deadbolts on all entry doors in 2003 and seismic bracing for hot water heaters in 2011.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with foundation and wall repairs, along with window replacements, completed in 1984. Recent activity (2024-2025) has primarily revolved around parking-related issues, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking incidents and some 311 calls regarding security and homelessness support. The most recent building permit activity consists of routine street space permits, indicating minimal major structural changes or violations in recent years. The property appears to have addressed past violations and maintenance needs effectively, with no active complaints or violations as of the latest data.

Risk rating

How 2222-2226 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.
