Rent & eviction protection

Is 2006-2008 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 1900
2 or more units
4 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 property at 2006-2008 Pierce Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building built in 1900, currently owned by Ashford Ventures LLC. The building underwent significant modification in 2008, including the installation of new gas heating systems (three console heaters), extensive electrical upgrades including new panels and circuits, and a plumbing renovation. These improvements followed earlier work in 2007 to restore the building's original configuration as two units, which was permitted at a cost of $250,000. However, major concerns have arisen regarding the building's current condition and compliance with safety regulations. Multiple active building violations were filed in 2022, including issues with illegal unit configuration (an unpermitted basement unit), water damage, improper egress, lack of approved heating, inadequate fire safety materials, and various unpermitted electrical and plumbing work. These violations have been categorized as life hazards and the property has been deemed a nuisance under the San Francisco Housing Code.

The building has a complex history regarding its unit configuration. While historical records show it was originally two units, permits and inspections since 2000 have suggested the presence of unauthorized modifications, particularly the suspected addition of a basement unit. In 2008, substantial infrastructure improvements were made to the building, including a new roof, heating systems, electrical systems, and plumbing work. Recent 311 calls between 2021-2024 primarily relate to parking and street issues, while earlier inspections in 2001 and 2011 were routine and resulted in no significant findings. There have been instances of unauthorized short-term rentals reported at both addresses, though these cases were resolved through informational notices. A water damage complaint from 2022 indicated issues with mold and leaky fixtures in a unit with low ceiling heights. The building's most recent legal issues stem from multiple building violations filed in 2022 related to water damage and unauthorized unit modifications, which have not yet been resolved as of 2023.

Risk rating

How 2006-2008 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
36thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 616 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
