Pacific Heights, SF 94123 0557002 4 units · 3 fl · 1906

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2735-2739 Webster 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 1906

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 1906
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 multi-family residential building at 2735-2739 Webster Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Joel Terry Abraham Trust, was constructed in 1906 and contains 4 units. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2011 ($30,000) and 2007 ($22,000), as well as important structural work such as a perimeter foundation repair in 2003 ($20,000) and back stairs post replacement in 2002. The building has experienced multiple routine housing inspections over the years, with the most concerning occurring in 2002 when several violations were documented including issues with egress obstruction, fire safety equipment, and building permits, though all were abated by February 2003.

Recent history shows regular maintenance and upgrades to the building's systems, including electrical work in 2011 (installation of fixtures and appliances on the 3rd floor) and plumbing updates during the same period. The property has had some minor fire incidents recorded, primarily related to system malfunctions and false alarms, with no civilian injuries reported. Building permits primarily relate to street space usage, with the most recent permits issued in 2013. Recent 311 calls (2014-2024) have involved typical urban issues such as street cleaning, abandoned vehicles, and street lighting, though these are municipal matters not directly related to the building's condition. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance and responsiveness to inspection findings, with no active violations or recent major maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 2735-2739 Webster 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
48thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 501 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
