Rent & eviction protection

Is 2405-2407 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 1900
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 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

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2405-2407 Pacific Avenue in Pacific Heights was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance updates over the years. The most substantial recent renovation occurred in 2020-2021, involving a comprehensive $200,000 project that included a voluntary partial seismic retrofit of the first floor, kitchen remodeling on the second floor, installation of new laundry and storage facilities, and replacement of existing decks and exterior stairs with new metal spiral stairs on the second and third floors. This project also addressed previously identified structural issues with the deck. The building underwent a complete reroofing in 2022 at a cost of $37,800, and previous improvements included the installation of two new furnaces and a new sewer system in 2015, along with window replacements in 2015 that maintained the building's historical integrity.

The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety concerns proactively, including multiple roof replacements (most recently in 2022) and various deck repairs. Several 311 calls have been documented, primarily related to parking enforcement and a fallen tree in 2015, though none indicated any significant building safety or maintenance issues. The most recent permits indicate active attention to structural integrity and modernization of the building's facilities, including the substantial 2020-2021 renovation project that significantly improved the property's safety and functionality. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with particular attention to critical systems like roofing, seismic safety, and heating systems.

Risk rating

How 2405-2407 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
97thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 29 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Director's hearings, owner's portfolio

Escalated DBI enforcement actions across all of this owner's buildings.
