Rent & eviction protection

Is 2614 Sacramento 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 1912

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 1912
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

2614 Sacramento Street is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by 2614 Sacramento Street LLC. The property has a history of significant renovation projects, with the most recent permissions issued in 2024 for structural framing alterations and stairway repairs. Major renovation work has occurred from 2021-2024, involving substantial bathroom and kitchen remodels, seismic retrofitting, and dry rot repairs throughout the building. The property experienced multiple complaints and violations between 2012-2023, including issues with weatherproofing, rodent infestation, inadequate heating, and various safety concerns, all of which were ultimately abated between 2012-2013.

Recent complaints from 2023-2025 indicate ongoing concerns about the building's condition and construction activity, with reports of the structure appearing vacant, having unsecured elements overhanging the sidewalk, and intermittent construction work. There were also previous violations regarding illegal short-term rentals that were resolved prior to the current ownership. Recent permitted work includes stairway repairs and furnace replacement in 2024, while multiple plumbing and electrical permits show ongoing interior improvements. The building has undergone significant changes over time, including a 2003 conversion attempt to restore it to a single-family residence from its previous multi-unit configuration, though the current use status is as a multi-family residential building according to recent permits. The property has been subject to various maintenance issues over the years, including dry rot repairs in 2018, 2020, and 2022, and has had multiple violations regarding safety equipment, structural maintenance, and general upkeep, with most issues being addressed through proper permits and repairs.

Risk rating

How 2614 Sacramento 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
