Rent & eviction protection

Is 2677 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 1923

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

2677 Larkin Street is an 8-story, 33-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Lsl Properties B14 De Llc. The building has undergone numerous renovations and improvements over recent years, with significant recent work focused on unit #803 in 2023, including bathroom layout changes and kitchen relocation. The property has seen substantial unit upgrades since 2014, including window replacements, fire alarm system upgrades, and multiple unit remodels involving kitchen and bathroom improvements. However, the building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple violations related to fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and other fire code requirements between 2020 and 2024, including open violations as recent as December 2024. A notable structural concern emerged in 2021 regarding a vertical crack in the building's west elevation, which has been documented to be approximately 20 feet in height. The building has a history of boiler permit compliance issues, with violations noted in 2018 that were subsequently abated. While most recent 311 calls and complaints have been resolved, there are ongoing open service requests from 2024 related to municipal transportation and public works.

The property's maintenance record shows regular updates to building systems, including window replacements, fire safety upgrades, and unit modernization projects. Recent work has primarily focused on individual unit improvements and system upgrades, such as the installation of EV charging infrastructure and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building's fire safety systems have been a persistent area of concern, with multiple violations and citations issued over the past several years. While most violations have been addressed and abated, recent fire safety violations from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges in this critical area.

Risk rating

How 2677 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
