Rent & eviction protection

Is 222 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 1911
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1911
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

222 Leavenworth Street is a 36-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1911 in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood, currently owned by Paul Boschetti G. The building has undergone various fire safety improvements in recent years, with an active permit (202501037650) issued in January 2025 for upgrading the fire alarm system at a cost of $69,400, along with an associated electrical permit (E202411098132) issued in November 2024 for fire alarm system modifications including new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. A significant cluster of fire safety violations and complaints emerged between 2017-2018, including issues with sprinkler systems, combustible materials, blocked exits, and alarm systems, though most were resolved promptly with corrections. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues, with multiple complaints regarding sewage problems, including incidents in 2005 and 2007, and a significant loss of hot water in 2006. A major cluster of violations was recorded in 2006, including fire safety concerns, egress obstructions, and maintenance issues, which were all abated by December 2006.

The property has demonstrated ongoing maintenance and safety improvements, with the recent fire alarm system upgrades indicating attention to modern safety standards. Multiple routine inspections and violation corrections suggest active management response to maintenance issues, though historical records indicate periods of significant maintenance challenges, particularly around 2006-2007. Recent 311 calls from November-December 2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as graffiti removal and sidewalk cleaning, with one noise complaint (opened November 2024) still pending resolution. The building's management has addressed numerous safety concerns over the years, including multiple fire code violations and system malfunctions, though one open violation from May 2024 regarding sleeping area requirements remains on record. The property has maintained active compliance with most building codes, as evidenced by the resolution of numerous historical violations and the implementation of required safety systems, though the presence of recent and historical plumbing and fire safety issues suggests these remain areas requiring ongoing attention.

Risk rating

How 222 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 134 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.

Building size

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

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.
