Rent & eviction protection

Is 2142-2144 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 1900

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 1900
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 property at 2142-2144 Filbert Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Cow Hollow neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by Keith K Jew and Pamela Y Jang, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past few decades. The most notable recent work was completed in 2012, including a comprehensive kitchen remodel in the unit featuring new cabinets, countertops, flooring, and updated electrical and plumbing systems, with a reported cost of $19,000. This followed earlier electrical upgrades in 2007 and 2005, when new meters and separate circuits were installed. The building has a history of addressing compliance issues, with a notable bathroom remodel on the ground floor completed in 2004 (valued at $10,000) to resolve a complaint from that year.

The property has experienced several routine inspections and compliance matters, including fire safety violations in 2001 and 2006 related to fire escape maintenance, which were subsequently resolved. Earlier issues included termite repairs in 1987 and a compliance-related project in 1984. Recent activity around the property has been recorded in the form of multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways, with at least one resulting in a citation (most recently in 2023). There have also been several reports of abandoned furniture and debris on the street, with the most recent incidents occurring in October 2024. The only recorded fire-related incident was a false alarm, with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 2142-2144 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
65thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 301 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
