Rent & eviction protection

Is 2530-2532 Franklin 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 1923
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 1923
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 2530-2532 Franklin Street in Cow Hollow, owned by the Verhey Family Trust 2009, has undergone significant recent improvements, with substantial work occurring in early 2024. Most notable are the interior upgrades completed in January 2024, which included remodeling bathrooms, updating the laundry room, installing a ceiling fan, tiling the kitchen floor, and associated plumbing work, all under a combined $60,000 project. Accompanying these renovations, extensive electrical work has been carried out, including a comprehensive rewiring of the upper unit and installation of fire warning devices, demonstrating attention to both modernization and safety.

Prior to these recent improvements, there were plans in May 2023 for a more extensive renovation project including the addition of a new elevator and bathroom remodels, along with ground floor laundry modifications, though these permits were ultimately cancelled. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including reroofing projects in 1991, 1992, and 2007, indicating regular upkeep of the building's infrastructure. The property has had minimal incident reports, with only routine municipal service requests related to street cleaning and color curb modifications between 2014 and 2016, none of which indicated any issues with the building itself. The recent 2024 permits and improvements suggest proactive property management and investment in maintaining and upgrading the residential units.

Risk rating

How 2530-2532 Franklin 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
96thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 34 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.

Building size

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building age

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