Rent & eviction protection

Is 2144 Green 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 1964
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.

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

2144 Green Street is a 16-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1964 and currently owned by Mehan Properties LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade. Most recently, in 2023, there were violations related to sleeping area requirements and sprinkler system maintenance, with the former still listed as open. The building has a history of fire safety concerns, including multiple violations regarding sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and alarm systems between 2018-2023, though most have been corrected or abated. In 2017, there were serious structural issues documented in the garage, with complaints about a deteriorating ceiling that affected vehicles, though these were resolved by July 2017.

Earlier records show the building underwent reroofing work in 2000, and there were multiple violations in 2008 that required remediation of interior surfaces, installation of smoke detectors, and addressed fire safety storage concerns. The property has also been subject to routine safety inspections in 2006, 2016, and 2023, indicating ongoing monitoring by housing authorities. More recently, there have been several 311 calls regarding parking enforcement and street cleaning in the vicinity, as well as a tree-related issue in 2024, though these are external to the building's immediate concerns. While the building has had various maintenance and safety issues over the years, it's worth noting that many have been addressed through required remediation, though some violations remain open as of the latest data.

Risk rating

How 2144 Green 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
18thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 706 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
