Pacific Heights, SF 94115 0605018C 6 units · 3 fl · 1925

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2440-2444 Fillmore 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 1925

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

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2440-2444 Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Merigan I L P, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1925. Most recently, in 2024, the building received a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has seen consistent maintenance and modernization efforts, including a 2017 kitchen and bath remodel in Unit #4, a 2014 sewer line replacement, and a 2008 steam boiler installation. Notable renovations in 2013 involved creating an accessible restroom and modifying interior spaces, while earlier upgrades included a 400-amp electrical service installation.

The property has experienced some regulatory scrutiny, particularly in 2000-2001, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized construction, electrical work without permits, and building violations related to water issues. More recent concerns arose in October 2013 regarding construction activity and permit compliance during renovation work. The building has been maintained with regular updates to essential systems, including plumbing and electrical infrastructure, and has undergone several unit-specific improvements. The most recent building violations and complaints have been adequately addressed, with most cases being marked as "not active" or "resolved." The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing both routine upkeep and significant system upgrades, with particular attention paid to safety systems and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 2440-2444 Fillmore 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
40thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 578 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
