Rent & eviction protection

Is 2380 California 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.

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.

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

2380 California Street is a 6-story, 24-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by 2380 California St LLC. The building has undergone several significant recent upgrades, most notably a $72,000 fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 to comply with 2022 San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of automatic/manual systems with pull stations, a monitored fire panel, and new horn strobes. Additional fire safety improvements were implemented in 2024, including the addition of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, though there remains an open violation from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. The building has experienced recurring fire alarm system issues, with multiple violations and corrections between 2019-2024, and three recent fire violations in 2024.

The property has a history of infrastructure challenges requiring attention, including a 2013 violation for unauthorized cell site installation that resulted in the removal of antennas and equipment by July 2015. Multiple units underwent kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2007, including units #101, #102, #103, #201, #602, and #604, with corresponding plumbing and electrical upgrades. Recent tenant complaints have raised concerns about conditions in the building, including a 2024 issue regarding unregulated paint removal and lead paint concerns, and a 2015 complaint about mice infestation and mold. Historical violations include an incident in 2001-2002 involving fire escape and alarm system repairs, and a 2008 complaint about inadequate heat. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to system upgrades, though some persistent issues remain unresolved or have recurred, particularly regarding fire safety systems and general maintenance concerns. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues, including garbage management and street cleaning concerns.

Risk rating

How 2380 California 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.
