Rent & eviction protection

Is 2323 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 1976

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 1976
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

2323 Franklin Street is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood, constructed in 1976 and currently owned by 2323 Franklin Apartments LLC. The building has undergone extensive interior improvements in recent years, with significant renovations completed in 2021 including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 202 and 302, as well as major upgrades to electrical and plumbing systems in both units. Unit 301 also received substantial renovations in 2018, including bathroom and electrical work, while unit 201 underwent kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 2017. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural issues, with dry rot repair work completed in the garage area in 2012, and historical records indicate multiple roof replacements, most recently in 2005. A minor fire alarm system issue was reported and resolved in 2017.

The property has experienced recurring issues with vehicles blocking driveways, with multiple citations issued between 2019 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself. Two complaints were filed in September 2000 regarding building conditions: one about a malfunctioning refrigerator and another concerning a routine inspection, both of which were resolved. An elevator maintenance issue was reported and addressed in early 2015. While the building has undergone significant modernization through recent renovations, particularly in terms of electrical and plumbing systems, there have been no reported safety incidents or major structural issues in recent years, and all building permits show completed status or appropriate processing updates.

Risk rating

How 2323 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
