Rent & eviction protection

Is 2437-2439 Pacific Ave 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 1914

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 1914
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 2437-2439 Pacific Avenue property is a three-story, 1914-built multi-family residential building (duplex) currently owned by Amir P Izadpanah Tr. The building has undergone significant renovations and updates over the past several years, with the most recent major permit in January 2023 costing $204,000 to recommence and complete previously approved work. Notable improvements include the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system in 2018 (with subsequent related plumbing work) and a complete rewiring of one unit. The property experienced several violations in 2015 related to electrical and plumbing issues, including non-functioning outlets, lights, windows, and security concerns, though these were all abated by February 2016.

Recent maintenance and improvements include the installation of backflow prevention equipment in August 2024, and the completion of a new heating system with dual wall-hung boilers in April 2023. The building's sprinkler system installation in 2018 was documented as having 100 heads throughout the building. Historical records show a bathroom installation without permit in 2004, and an illegal basement unit complaint in 1997, though both issues were resolved. The property has experienced multiple parking-related complaints in the surrounding area during 2023-2024, primarily concerning blocked driveways and sidewalk parking, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent general inquiries have been successfully resolved, including a street cleaning request in November 2023 and various parking enforcement matters.

Risk rating

How 2437-2439 Pacific Ave'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
86thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 135 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
