Rent & eviction protection

Is 2280 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 1954
2 or more units
6 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 1954
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 2280 Jackson Street is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1954 and currently owned by the Leon Survivor's Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most notable being a completed soft story retrofit in 2016 (with steel frame and plywood sheathing) that brought the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements, and a fire alarm system upgrade in 2020-2021 that included the installation of low-frequency horns in all units. Other major maintenance work includes a complete reroofing project in 2019 ($34,230), a sewer trap replacement in 2010, and various electrical system upgrades including the installation of 7 meter sockets and circuit breaker panels in 2008.

More recent records from 2023-2024 show multiple 311 calls related to street conditions near the building, including reports of waste and abandoned vehicles, particularly noting recurring garbage collection noise complaints in late 2024. The building has had two routine housing inspections on record (1997 and 2011), though neither resulted in any continued violations. The property appears to be generally well-maintained, with all major structural and safety improvements completed according to current building codes, and has received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) for the Tier 3 soft story retrofit program.

Risk rating

How 2280 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
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.
