Rent & eviction protection

Is 2107 Pierce 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 1917
2 or more units
10 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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

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.

Built 1917
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 10-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2107 Pierce Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Kathleen G Drescher 2015 Tr, was constructed in 1917 and has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the past decade. Most recently, in 2024, the building received boiler system upgrades, including the installation of new boilers in October 2023 and the relocation of a sub-panel in September 2024. A major fire alarm system replacement was completed in 2022 to comply with current fire safety codes, including new horns and a conventional fire alarm panel. The property has maintained consistent plumbing system updates, including backflow device installations and kitchen plumbing improvements in multiple units between 2016 and 2024.

Historical records show some recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to heating systems, with complaints about inadequate heat during the years 1998, 2000, 2007, and most recently in 2023 regarding boiler permit compliance. A notable safety concern was raised in 2018 regarding a deteriorating window leading to a fire escape in Unit 9, though this issue's resolution is not documented in the provided records. The building experienced several violations in 2000 related to heating system requirements and security features, which were abated by June 2000. Recent maintenance records from 2023-2024 show active management of street-related issues, including multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans and debris, though these are municipal rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 2107 Pierce 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 742 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
