Rent & eviction protection

Is 2080 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 1926

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.

Built 1926
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 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2080 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, built in 1926 and currently owned by Jones Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with particular attention to safety and modernization. Most notably, in 2016, a kitchen remodel was completed in Unit 1 following an illegal construction complaint, with corresponding electrical work (completed in May 2016) totaling $17,000. The building received substantial electrical upgrades in 2003, including the conversion from two 60-amp to two 100-amp services, and multiple roofing projects have been undertaken, with the most recent completed in 2014 at a cost of $12,500. Historical issues with lead paint were addressed between 2007-2009, when the building received multiple notices regarding damaged paint and required remediation procedures, which were eventually abated. There were also fire safety concerns in 2008 related to egress obstruction and gas utility shutoff tools, both of which were resolved by August 2009.

Recent maintenance and safety improvements have focused on exterior conditions, including street cleaning and graffiti removal efforts in 2020-2024, as documented in multiple 311 calls. While there have been several complaints about graffiti and general cleaning issues in the vicinity of the building, these appear to be related to public spaces rather than the building itself. The property has maintained compliance with city regulations, with no active violations or ongoing complaints. The building underwent a routine housing inspection in 2001, which showed no significant issues, and a recent investigation into alleged illegal short-term vacation rental activity was closed with no violation found.

Risk rating

How 2080 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
40thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 517 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
