Rent & eviction protection

Is 2155-2157 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 1917
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1917
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 three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2155-2157 Jackson Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Elina Yeramian 2013 Living Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1917. Most notably, recent improvements include the ongoing construction of a new one-bedroom accessory dwelling unit at the ground floor (2022), an infill addition at unit 4 (2023), and various fire safety system upgrades including a required system replacement in 2023 to meet current fire code requirements. The building has received attention to critical infrastructure, including foundation work at the rear unit in 2022, complete reroofing in 2017, and the installation of a heat pump system in 2018.

Historical records indicate that the building has had periodic routine safety inspections, with notable violations in 2002 related to fire safety and building maintenance, including issues with fire escape egress, security bars, and fire extinguishers - all of which were abated by November 2002. The most recent tenant buyouts occurred in 2022 and 2023, with one for $460,000 involving two tenants and another for $30,000 involving one tenant. A few maintenance issues have been reported through 311 calls, including a sewage backup in 2016 and an outdoor pipe leak under the studio in 2021. The building's management has demonstrated ongoing commitment to maintenance and compliance with current safety standards, as evidenced by recent building permits and the resolution of historical violations.

Risk rating

How 2155-2157 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
68thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 308 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
