Rent & eviction protection

Is 2565 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 1915
2 or more units

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1915
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 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2565 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1915 and currently owned by the Kazuko Miyamoto 2020 Living Trust, has undergone significant recent renovations in 2024. Multiple units (1, 2, and 5) have received comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, including plumbing and electrical updates, with costs averaging $55,000 per unit. The building is also in the process of window upgrades, with permits filed in late 2024 for replacement of 12 aluminum windows with Marvin wood fiberglass clad windows in units 1, 2, 5, and 6.

Earlier this year, the building faced several violations related to lead abatement procedures and weather protection, particularly in April 2024, but these were resolved by July 2024. There were also two significant sewer-related incidents earlier in 2024 (flooding and sewage backup), and a currently-open noise complaint regarding mechanical equipment from April 2023. Historical records show past improvements including reroofing work in 1988 and 2000, and a concrete retaining wall replacement in 1993. A routine safety inspection was conducted in 2014, though its specific findings are not detailed in the records. The building's only recorded fire incident involved arcing or shorted electrical equipment, with no civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned external issues such as parking violations and tree maintenance, rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 2565 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
43rdpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 549 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
