Rent & eviction protection

Is 2295 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 1916
2 or more units
9 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM1
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1916
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 9-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2295 Broadway in Pacific Heights, owned by Broad-fill LLC, was constructed in 1916 and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years. Most recently, in 2023-2024, there were multiple issues with garbage collection and debris management on the property, with Recology responding to numerous reports of overflowing city garbage cans. There are three active 311 calls from January 2025 regarding garbage issues. The building's boiler system has been a recurring concern, with the most recent complaint in March 2024 about an expired permit for the Raypak domestic hot water boiler installed in 2013, following a similar issue in 2010.

The property has experienced various fire safety-related incidents and violations, particularly between 2018-2019, when issues were documented regarding fire escapes, sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and fire extinguishers, all of which were subsequently corrected or abated. The building has a documented history of false alarms and system malfunctions, though no significant fires or civilian injuries have been reported. Major structural work was completed in 2013, including the addition of special moment-resisting frames and shear walls in the garage, and the building has seen several unit renovations over the years, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units in 1998. The property underwent a vertical addition to add a roof deck in 1998, and various window improvements were attempted in 2007-2008. Regular inspections have been conducted, with some routine violations noted and subsequently resolved, including issues with smoke detectors, fire escape ladders, and structural maintenance requirements.

Risk rating

How 2295 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
14thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 828 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units

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