Rent & eviction protection

Is 2320-2322 Union 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 1941
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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 1941
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 2320-2322 Union Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, constructed in 1941 and currently owned by Stephen R. and Janet J. Sotzing. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with the most substantial work taking place in 2018-2019, including the addition of new roof decks on levels 3 and 4, infill work in the south lightwell, extensive interior reconfigurations of both units, and various plumbing and electrical updates. The 2018 renovation project, valued at $562,000, involved creating new bathrooms, bedrooms, and a media room in Unit 1, as well as moving the garage door to create a recessed entry. In 2017, the property received comprehensive updates including kitchen and bathroom renovations, installation of recessed lighting, and electrical system improvements including new lighting, switches, receptacles, and smoke detectors.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of essential systems, with roof work documented in 2008 and 1992, termite repairs completed in 1997, and various interior remodels including kitchen and bathroom updates in 1992. Recent infrastructure improvements include the installation of new water heaters in 2019 and comprehensive plumbing updates in 2017 involving multiple shower and valve installations. The property has experienced several incidents involving parking enforcement, with multiple cases of driveway blocking documented between 2022 and 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking in the area. Additionally, there have been some infrastructure-related issues on the street outside the building, including utility excavation work in 2022 and a shifted construction plate incident, though these were not directly related to the building's condition. A condo conversion application for the two units has been approved, and there was a notable application for commercial space use change in the vicinity, though not directly related to this residential building.

Risk rating

How 2320-2322 Union 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
85thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 129 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
