Rent & eviction protection

Is 2351-2353 Laguna 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 1939
2 or more units

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.

Built 1939
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 residential building at 2351-2353 Laguna Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Cabala Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1939. The building's maintenance record shows several permitted work projects from the 1980s, including bathroom remodeling (1987), skylight replacement (1987), termite treatment (1986), and reroofing (1992), though some of these permits have since expired. The property has experienced a few notable infrastructure issues, with a sewage backup incident reported in June 2019 that required attention from PUC Sewer Operations and subsequent CCTV inspection.

The surrounding area has seen various municipal service calls between 2010 and 2024, with the most recent being parking enforcement matters in late 2024. These external issues primarily relate to street maintenance and safety, including parking violations, garbage concerns, and infrastructure maintenance. Specific incidents included a curbside furniture disposal case (September 2024), multiple instances of driveway blocking (2023 and 2024), and various street cleaning matters, though none appear to directly impact the building's interior conditions. A pavement defect was reported in 2017, and a flickering streetlight issue was resolved in October 2013. While the building's permit history suggests regular maintenance in the late 20th century, there are no recorded building permits or major renovations in recent decades, with the most recent significant work being the 1992 reroofing project.

Risk rating

How 2351-2353 Laguna 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
89thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 106 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
