Rent & eviction protection

Is 2215-2217 Webster 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
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 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

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2215-2217 Webster Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Pauline Po Lam Ho, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit work as a Tier 3 property in 2021, following a failed initial permit application in 2017 that led to a code enforcement complaint about unfiled permits. In 2015-2016, the property underwent a substantial kitchen remodel in unit #1, including electrical upgrades, though this work was initially questioned in a 2015 complaint about possible unpermitted work. The building has experienced recurring moisture and mold issues, with multiple complaints filed in 2011 and 2013 regarding window leaks, wall damage, and mold odors, though these violations were eventually abated by January 2012.

Historical maintenance records show various improvements including a kitchen remodel ($20,000) in 2015, roofing work in 2013, and the addressing of multiple building violations between 2000-2017, such as door repairs, window frame issues, and fire safety matters including smoke detector installation and fire extinguisher recharge requirements. More recent concerns have primarily been related to exterior maintenance and parking issues, including multiple reports of parking meter damage and general street maintenance matters, with all recent 311 calls being resolved. The building's fire safety history shows three smoke detector activations, though none resulted in injuries or major incidents, and three complaints regarding combustible materials in 2009 which were promptly corrected.

Risk rating

How 2215-2217 Webster 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
62ndpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 366 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
