Rent & eviction protection

Is 2250 Jackson St 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
Zoning
RH2
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 property at 2250 Jackson Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, built in 1900 and currently owned by William F. and Luba Gower. The building underwent significant renovations between 2009 and 2021, including comprehensive plumbing work (upgrading 4 bathrooms and 2 kitchens, installing 3 fireplaces, and implementing radiant floor heating), electrical system modernization (including a 400-amp service upgrade with 3 subpanels and an elevator installation), and structural improvements such as a rear wall construction and garbage enclosure. Multiple permits were obtained in 2021 to finalize previous work, and several street space permits were issued between 2011 and 2012. A notable historical event includes a staff-initiated discretionary review in 2010 regarding the merger of five units into a single-family dwelling, though this was ultimately not pursued.

The building has maintained general compliance with housing standards, with only one routine inspection recorded in 2001, which was promptly resolved. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of typical urban events, such as a parking enforcement action in 2023 and occasional waste management issues in 2020. The property had a water leak incident in 2016, which was resolved by the Public Utilities Commission. The extensive renovation work completed over the past decade, including comprehensive updates to the building's mechanical systems and infrastructure, suggests a significant investment in maintaining and modernizing the property while preserving its historic character.

Risk rating

How 2250 Jackson St'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
84thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 154 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.

Building age

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
