Rent & eviction protection

Is 2355-2365 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

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.

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-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2355-2365 Union Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Darin Richards-brown Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed a roof replacement in August 2023 at a cost of $34,850, and previously underwent a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements (Tier 4, Work Complete, CFC Issued). The property has seen major infrastructure upgrades, including an electrical service upgrade from 100 to 200 amps in 2015, and substantial electrical wiring improvements in 2010 and 2005.

The building's maintenance history reveals attention to various building systems, including plumbing repairs (2011) and comprehensive interior upgrades such as bathroom, kitchen, and laundry remodels (2010) with hydronic heating systems. In 2015, significant garage maintenance was performed with the removal and replacement of approximately 9 yards of concrete slab. The property has experienced some compliance issues in the past, with multiple violations recorded in 2002 related to stair repairs, fire safety, sanitation, and interior surfaces, though all were abated by March 2005. Recent complaints include unpermitted window replacement in 2021 and routine inspections in 2002 and 2011, with all matters being resolved. The building's surroundings have generated several parking enforcement issues in 2023-2024, with multiple cases of driveway blocking, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 2355-2365 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
29thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 611 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
