Rent & eviction protection

Is 2100 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 1923
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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

2100 Jackson Street is an 8-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923 in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood, currently owned by Jackson Realty Partnership. The building has experienced multiple safety-related issues in recent years, with eight fire code violations recorded between 2016 and 2024, including the most recent violations in August and December 2024 related to sprinkler system maintenance and documentation. A significant cluster of violations was addressed in 2016, when the building was cited for various safety concerns including fire escape functionality, roof beam repairs, and alarm system issues, though these were abated by May 2016. The building's systems have undergone several major updates, including emergency fire alarm panel replacements in 2010 and 2020, concrete repairs in 2016, and multiple sewer line replacements (2012 and 2009).

The property has seen consistent maintenance work over the years, including kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations, and window replacements. Recent permits indicate ongoing street space usage, with multiple permits issued for street space work in 2018. Currently, there are active planning proposals under review to significantly expand the property by adding four stories and creating additional dwelling units and parking facilities in the rear yard, though this has generated community interest and scrutiny. The building has experienced recurring issues with building systems and safety compliance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding property maintenance and multiple fire code violations, though many of these violations have been subsequently abated. A notable pattern of fire safety violations is evident from 2018 through 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with maintaining fire safety systems, though recent records indicate that most recent violations have been addressed or abated.

Risk rating

How 2100 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
9thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 876 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 size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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