Rent & eviction protection

Is 2262-2266 Filbert 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 1906
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1906
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 2262-2266 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Lester Chew Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant structural improvements and faced recent incidents impacting its safety systems. Most notably, in September 2023, the building began substantial seismic strengthening work costing $120,000, including foundation replacement and new shear walls, though this work was temporarily interrupted by an October 2023 incident involving a vehicle colliding with the first-floor façade, damaging framing, stucco, and gas meters, necessitating a gas shutoff to the entire building. This incident resulted in building violations that were subsequently abated by October 19, 2023.

The property has a history of maintenance and improvements, including a completed window replacement project in 2022 involving 13 street-facing windows with energy-efficient wood-aluminum units. Earlier records show roofing work from 1999 and various routine inspections, including a 2002 violation for miscellaneous issues that appeared to be promptly resolved. More recently, in 2024, there have been several 311 calls related to street and sidewalk conditions, including construction debris, cleaning needs, and parked vehicles, though most of these issues were quickly addressed. The building's systems experienced two gas-related incidents in the past, though no civilian injuries were reported in either case. The property has undergone regular maintenance and improvements consistent with maintaining a three-unit residential building in an urban environment, though recent events have highlighted the importance of ongoing safety system management and response to external impacts.

Risk rating

How 2262-2266 Filbert 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
29thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 611 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
