Rent & eviction protection

Is 2-6 Golden Ct 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.

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.

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, three-story multi-family residential building at 2-6 Golden Court in Nob Hill was built in 1909 and is currently owned by Ivan and Andrea Lum. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with documented permits showing window replacements, electrical system upgrades, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling. In 2005, there were multiple permits related to fence installation, though this work led to a building violation for exceeding the permitted height, which was eventually resolved in 2007. A comprehensive health and safety inspection in 2009 revealed multiple issues including handrail repairs, dryer vent concerns, and gas meter instructions, all of which were addressed by December 2009.

More recent history includes a routine housing inspection in 2016 and two carbon monoxide detector activations with no CO detected, suggesting regular safety system maintenance. The building has maintained an active response to urban issues in the surrounding area, with recent 311 calls in 2024 regarding encampments and historical calls about waste management and street lighting between 2010-2017. While there have been various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, records indicate that these have generally been addressed, with the most recent major building complaint dating back to 2009. The property has consistently undergone necessary upgrades and maintenance work, though some building permits have expired without completion on record, such as the $16,000 window replacement project from 2005.

Risk rating

How 2-6 Golden Ct'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
53rdpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 529 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
