Rent & eviction protection

Is 2424 Washington 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

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

2424 Washington Street is a historic two-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, built in 1900 and currently owned by Jeffrey & Kathe Hagan. The building underwent significant transformation between 2006-2009, including a major conversion from three dwelling units to a single-family residence with an attached apartment. This renovation period involved substantial updates, including complete electrical rewiring, plumbing system upgrades (repiping four bathrooms, two kitchens, and laundry facilities), and the addition of a new garage area with concrete ramp for three car parking. The front facade received attention in 2019 with the replacement of masonry brick steps and repair of a wooden support ramp due to dry rot, costing over $10,000.

The property has experienced several construction-related issues and neighbor complaints, particularly during the 2008-2009 renovation period, including concerns about unpermitted window installations, exterior paint debris, and construction work beyond permit scope. More recently, there have been multiple noise complaints related to construction (2023-2024) and several reports of parking violations, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. The most recent permits and complaints suggest ongoing maintenance work as of 2024. The building's history shows diligent attention to infrastructure upgrades, including furnace replacement, comprehensive electrical systems overhaul, and various structural improvements, though it is worth noting that historical renovation periods generated multiple neighborhood concerns that were subsequently addressed and resolved.

Risk rating

How 2424 Washington 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
77thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 221 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
