Rent & eviction protection

Is 2102 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

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

2102 Filbert Street is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood. Built in 1906 and currently owned by Trust B-2 Of The Residuary, this building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with Unit 2 receiving a comprehensive $30,000 remodel in 2018 that included kitchen and bathroom updates, window replacements, and electrical upgrades including a new subpanel and smoke detectors. Similarly, Apartment #3 underwent a substantial $25,000 renovation in early 2018, featuring kitchen and bathroom improvements, window replacements, and extensive electrical work including the installation of new appliances and smoke detectors. The building's electrical systems received attention in 2008 with a complete panel and meter replacement for one apartment.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most concerning recent incident being an active complaint from August 2023 regarding a vacant commercial space on the ground floor. Previous violations from 2002-2006 included smoke detector deficiencies in common areas and egress obstructions, though these were all officially abated by December 2006. A 2016 complaint regarding low stair railings was also resolved. The building's common areas have experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage and debris issues on the property and surrounding sidewalks. The most recent documented fire incidents were minor, with no civilian injuries reported. While the building has undergone significant recent improvements to individual units, the persistence of exterior maintenance issues as indicated by 311 calls suggests ongoing challenges with common area upkeep.

Risk rating

How 2102 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
