Rent & eviction protection

Is 2411 Octavia 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 1900
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1900
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

2411 Octavia St is a 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Robert Howard Peterson. The property has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with the most notable work occurring between 2020-2024 including comprehensive electrical upgrades (installation of 400-amp service, new sub-panels, and rewiring), multiple unit renovations (kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 1, 5, and 6), and window replacements. The building's systems have received substantial improvements, including fire sprinkler service replacement, sewer repairs, and water service upgrades. Historical violations from 2001 and 2009 related to fire safety, security, and building maintenance were documented but have all been resolved, with no active violations on record.

Recent activity includes ongoing maintenance and upgrades, with the most recent work being window replacements in July 2024 (cost: $33,285). The property has maintained compliance with safety requirements, with regular fire alarm bell relocations and fire extinguisher maintenance completed. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property in 2024 (primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues), these are external to the building itself. The building's recent renovations reflect ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with particular attention paid to modernizing electrical systems, improving unit interiors, and maintaining historical window features. The presence of the Analytical Psychology Club as a legacy business registry address is also noted, though its current operational status is listed as open.

Risk rating

How 2411 Octavia 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
72ndpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 270 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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