Rent & eviction protection

Is 2045-2047 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 1950
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 1950
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 2045-2047 Broadway is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by the Christina M Orth Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably in 2023, when an interior renovation of approximately 500 square feet was completed, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, new electrical and plumbing systems, and window modifications ($45,000). In 2024, the building received a $23,000 reroofing project, and in October 2023, both furnace installation and bathroom/kitchen remodeling work were completed. A major renovation project in 2016-2017 included the installation of a residential elevator accessing all three levels, significant electrical upgrades, and the remodeling of multiple bathrooms and kitchens, with costs totaling approximately $160,000.

The building has experienced some maintenance and compliance issues in the past, including a routine housing inspection in December 2015 that identified violations related to carbon monoxide and smoke alarm requirements, structural maintenance, and smoke detector installation. These violations were abated by January 2016. There is an active complaint from 2000 regarding a potentially non-compliant redwood fence construction in the rear yard exceeding permitted height, which appears to remain unresolved in the records. The property has also experienced some plumbing challenges, with two sewage backup incidents reported in 2010-2011. Recent service calls primarily relate to parking enforcement issues and general maintenance matters on public property. In terms of future developments, the building has gone through the process of converting from rental units to condominiums, and there have been approved modifications to window installations and rear cantilevered decks.

Risk rating

How 2045-2047 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
73rdpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 260 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.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building age

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