Rent & eviction protection

Is 2188-2190 Vallejo 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 1912

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 1912
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 property at 2188-2190 Vallejo Street is a four-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Vallejo 2188 LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovation projects, most notably a substantial 2018-2020 renovation that included basement addition, interior remodeling, wood window replacement, and the addition of a rooftop deck with approximately 1,054 cubic yards of excavation. Historical maintenance work includes various deck repairs (2002-2003), bathroom updates (2000, 2003), and general upkeep addressing issues like dry rot (1987, 2002). The building's infrastructure has been maintained regularly, with electrical work documented during bathroom and deck renovations.

The property has experienced multiple maintenance-related incidents over the years, with documented issues including water leaks, false alarms, and a gas leak (though no injuries were reported in any incidents), indicating some ongoing infrastructure challenges. Recent cases in 2022-2024 show typical urban issues such as graffiti, debris, and noise complaints, though these are primarily related to street-level concerns rather than building-specific problems. A tenant buyout recorded in 2017 involved one tenant receiving $4,500 to vacate the premises. The building's permit history shows continuous investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with the most recent significant work being the 2018-2020 renovation project, though a proposed wrought iron fence installation from 2020 appears to be still in filed status.

Risk rating

How 2188-2190 Vallejo 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
79thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 202 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
