Rent & eviction protection

Is 2346-2350 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 1901
2 or more units

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 1901
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-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2346-2350 Franklin Street in Pacific Heights, owned by John T S & Siew Yoong Hung, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1901. The most substantial recent work occurred in 2003 when the building received comprehensive electrical upgrades including the installation of 50 lights, 60 switches, 100 receptacles, 60 circuits, and 3 sub panels, along with major roof work costing $200,000. A series of building violations were recorded in 2001-2002 that raised multiple safety concerns, including issues with stairs, egress obstruction, combustible storage, and the need for self-closing devices at exterior doors; however, all these violations were abated by May 2002. The building underwent routine inspections in 2001, 2003, 2009, and 2016, with the most recent inspections in 2016 addressing fire safety, carbon monoxide and smoke alarm compliance, and lead hazard notifications, all of which were marked as not active.

Recent maintenance history shows regular attention to building systems, with street space permits issued as recently as 2016. There have been 311 calls regarding the property's surroundings between 2020 and 2025, primarily related to sidewalk cleaning, trash, and noise issues, though these external matters do not directly reflect on the building's condition. Two fire complaints were recorded in 2009 and 2011, one related to hazardous materials which was promptly corrected. The building's documented history suggests an active management approach to maintaining compliance with safety standards, particularly in addressing violations and undergoing significant electrical upgrades, though prospective tenants should be aware that some safety-related violations were prominent at the beginning of the 2000s before being systematically addressed.

Risk rating

How 2346-2350 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

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
59thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 395 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
