Rent & eviction protection

Is 2092-2098 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1947
2 or more units

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 1947
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 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2092-2098 California Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Tybinka Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects since its construction in 1947. Most recently, in 2024, the building received substantial electrical system upgrades, including the installation of new panels, rewiring, and lighting improvements, totaling around $50,000. The property has seen consistent maintenance and improvements, with major works including a $20,000 reroofing project in 2023, comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2019-2020 ($65,000), and window replacements on the California and Laguna Street sides in 2009. The building's mechanical systems have received attention through multiple furnace and electrical upgrades, and there were two notable heating system complaints in 2004 and 2011, both of which were resolved.

The property has maintained compliance with safety regulations, with a routine safety inspection in 2014 leading to corrections of fire extinguisher servicing and roof access ladder issues, all of which were promptly addressed within one month. Fire department records show only minor incidents, primarily false alarms and system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported. The most recent tenant buyout occurred in November 2022 for $85,000. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as graffiti, tree maintenance, and street cleaning, though there was one noise complaint related to a barking dog in December 2023. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with multiple reroofing projects, window replacements, and interior improvements, indicating active property management.

Risk rating

How 2092-2098 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

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
