Rent & eviction protection

Is 2102-2104 Broadway 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 1904

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 1904
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 four-story multi-family residential building at 2102-2104 Broadway in Pacific Heights, owned by the Kuen Lee Trust, was built in 1904 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and safety improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2020-2024, there were serious fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations issued in December 2024, and a history of violations dating back to 2020. The building's fire safety systems have received attention, including the installation of a sprinkler system in 2010 (with subsequent service issues), a fire control panel, and various alarm system improvements, though there have been ongoing compliance issues requiring correction. Recent maintenance work includes a $12,000 deck repair in 2020, a $9,000 kitchen remodel in 2013, and various plumbing upgrades including a basement renovation with floor drain and laundry sink installation in 2010, sewer repair in 2008, and multiple street space permits over the years.

The property has experienced regular maintenance and safety upgrades, including reroofing in 2011 ($20,000) and garage improvements in 2010, though some plumbing permits have expired. The building has had recurring issues with parking violations and street cleaning concerns in recent years, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls between 2024-2025 regarding blocked driveways and sidewalk parking. While these are not directly related to building safety, they impact the surrounding area. The most recent maintenance issues seem to cluster around fire safety compliance, with multiple violations reported in December 2024. The building has a documented history of fire system maintenance and upgrades, though the pattern of violations suggests ongoing monitoring of fire safety systems and compliance requirements would be necessary. Patterns of work and violations suggest regular property maintenance with particular attention needed for fire safety systems and compliance requirements, though the most recent violations appear to have been promptly addressed through the "abated" status designation.

Risk rating

How 2102-2104 Broadway'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
89thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 106 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.

Building age

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

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.
