Rent & eviction protection

Is 2833-2835 Fillmore 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 1956

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 1956
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 2833-2835 Fillmore Street, a two-unit residential building constructed in 1956, has experienced significant and concerning events over the past several years. Most notably, in October 2018, there were multiple complaints and active violations regarding potentially unlawful demolition, destabilization of neighboring properties, and unpermitted plumbing modifications. These issues led to multiple Notices of Violation, some of which remain active. In 2019, there was an attempt to demolish the existing building and construct new units, but this project faced numerous complications including a suspended permit in January 2019 related to illegal demolition. A subsequent building permit from July 2021 was filed to replace an existing wood fence with a 6-foot high painted metal fence, which was in response to an enforcement action.

The building's history also includes significant renovation work planned in 2015, including seismic upgrades and construction of a shared roof deck, though this permit was ultimately cancelled. In 2013, there were substantial interior renovations required due to mold issues in both units' kitchens and bathrooms, along with some exterior repairs. More recently, from 2020 to 2024, there have been various maintenance and repair issues documented through 311 calls, including pavement defects, sewer issues, and tree damage. While there have been several fire department responses to the property, they were primarily for alarm system activations and water-related issues, with no recorded injuries. The building's current status shows ongoing compliance issues, including an active complaint regarding an improperly constructed fence and multiple historical violations that suggest a pattern of unpermitted modifications and construction practices.

Risk rating

How 2833-2835 Fillmore 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
34thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 636 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
