Rent & eviction protection

Is 2315 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 1904
2 or more 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.

Built 1904
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

2315 Sacramento Street is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Green Hills Views LLC. The property is classified as a "Soft Story Tier 3" building, meaning it is subject to mandatory seismic retrofit requirements, though records indicate non-compliance with these requirements has persisted since 2017, with an active violation regarding failure to submit permit applications for necessary seismic retrofit work. The building underwent significant renovations between 2021 and 2024, including comprehensive unit remodels, foundation replacement, and voluntary seismic upgrades totaling over $400,000 in permitted work. Recent improvements include the installation of a new fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and the addition of new bathrooms and laundry facilities in multiple units.

The building's recent history reveals a pattern of construction-related issues, including several complaints from neighbors about dust, debris, and noise during renovations in 2022-2023, as well as concerns about construction work being performed beyond permitted scope. A notable period of vacancy and deterioration was reported between 2017 and 2020, leading to concerns about security and maintenance, which were addressed through subsequent renovations. The property has experienced multiple fire alarm system malfunctions, though no confirmed fire incidents or civilian injuries have been recorded in recent years. In addition to building-specific issues, there were several 311 calls regarding the property's exterior improvements, including sidewalk repairs, tree maintenance, and parking enforcement matters. While many building improvements have been properly permitted and executed, including plumbing and electrical upgrades, there remain outstanding concerns about compliance with the Soft Story Retrofit Program and a recent complaint regarding work being performed without proper permits filed in April 2024.

Risk rating

How 2315 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

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
28thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 693 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.

Director's hearings (past 7 years)

Director's hearings are escalated enforcement actions for buildings that haven't resolved violations — a serious signal.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.
