Rent & eviction protection

Is 2942-2946 Laguna 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 1908
2 or more units

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 1908
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 2942-2946 Laguna Street in Cow Hollow is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908. The building has undergone significant recent renovations, with major remodeling work completed in 2021 that included updates to kitchens and bathrooms in both flats, along with interior painting, totaling approximately $85,000. Earlier improvements include a 2007 replacement of the rear deck and stairs ($13,000), and in 2018, work was completed to legalize an enclosed roof deck, which had previously been the subject of a complaint in 2017 regarding unpermitted modifications and possible electrical work.

The building's history shows some maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly during the 2001-2009 period, including multiple violations related to security (self-closing devices and deadlatch locks), mold/mildew issues, and unauthorized modifications. A notable cluster of issues occurred in 2009 regarding mold, water drainage practices, and a possible unauthorized electrical installation. While all these violations were eventually resolved, there have been periodic complaints about various issues, including parking violations, graffiti, and exterior maintenance matters, with the most recent concerns being mostly parking-related. Recent inspections and work have focused on improving the building's overall condition, particularly the significant 2021 renovations which suggest current ownership is actively maintaining and upgrading the property. Two 311 calls from 2024 related to graffiti and an environmental health complaint represent the most recent building-related issues, though many recent complaints are related to parking enforcement rather than building conditions themselves.

Risk rating

How 2942-2946 Laguna 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
88thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 103 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
