Rent & eviction protection

Is 2460 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 1900
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.

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 three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2460 Union Street in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1900, with the most substantial work occurring between 2003-2010. The property underwent a major garage enlargement in 2009, costing $100,000, followed by additional modifications including plumbing and electrical work. The garage improvement project included concrete retaining walls and interior alterations, with subsequent modifications to add a half bathroom and washer/dryer facilities, though the bathroom component was later removed from the scope of work. During this period, the building received various infrastructure upgrades, including a new sewer system installation, furnace replacement, and comprehensive electrical rewiring, particularly in the basement and first floor areas. The property also had multiple expired permits that were subsequently renewed, indicating active management and oversight of building improvements.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, with records of furnace replacement, electrical updates, and plumbing improvements. More recent history (2018-2024) has primarily involved external matters, with several 311 calls regarding street-related issues, though these were not directly related to the building's condition. These calls included reports of illegal parking, waste removal, and street lighting concerns, all of which were typically resolved by city agencies. In early 2024, there were two parking-related incidents near the property, indicating ongoing neighborhood parking enforcement activity. The most recent significant installation was for Verizon Wireless equipment on an existing light pole, which received approved planning status in 2023.

Risk rating

How 2460 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
46thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 465 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
