Rent & eviction protection

Is 2924-2926 Pierce 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 1905
2 or more units

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 1905
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 two-unit residential building at 2924-2926 Pierce Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Pierce Street Property LLC, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1905. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, most notably a major reroofing project in September 2021 costing $32,500, and a water heater replacement scheduled for March 2024. Historical records show earlier improvements including a foundation modification in 1997 and roofing work in 1991, with additional unspecified work completed in 1982. A building complaint was filed in June 2021 regarding unpermitted work involving construction noise and materials, though this complaint was marked as not active by February 2022. The property has experienced minimal nuisance issues, with only two documented 311 calls: one in November 2020 regarding garbage receptacles being left out continuously (which was resolved through outreach and enforcement), and a parking violation in August 2022 that resulted in a citation. A comprehensive electrical rewiring project proposed in 2005 was cancelled, but this has not been revisited in subsequent records. While the building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and systems upkeep, particularly with the recent water heater replacement and past roof replacements, the property has had only minor neighborhood-related incidents over the past few years.

Risk rating

How 2924-2926 Pierce 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
83rdpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 146 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
