Rent & eviction protection

Is 2275 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.

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.

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

2275 Broadway is a 7-story, 28-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by 2275 Broadway A2 Lp. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with major rehabilitation work completed in multiple units including Unit 701 (2023), Apt 310 (2022), and several others (2020). Recent safety upgrades include the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas (2024) and voluntary seismic strengthening of steel columns (2020). The building has experienced recurring fire safety system issues, with multiple violations and complaints documented between 2015 and 2024 relating to alarm systems, sleeping area requirements, and extinguisher maintenance, though these have generally been promptly addressed. Two notable boiler permit violations were recorded in April 2016, but these were abated within weeks. The property has maintained a routine pattern of responding to maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns primarily involving fire safety systems and parking enforcement around the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls related to illegal parking and other minor issues throughout 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to resident amenities, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, and systematic improvements to core building systems such as the fire alarm system and seismic stability.

Risk rating

How 2275 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 838 are predicted to be safer.
