Rent & eviction protection

Is 2195 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 1917
2 or more units

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 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 16-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 2195 Sacramento St in Pacific Heights, owned by 2740 Greenwich Apts Inc, has a history of infrastructure maintenance and safety system requirements that merit attention. The building, constructed in 1917, underwent several significant improvements over the years, including a seismic retrofit in 1999, window installations in 1989-1991, and major electrical upgrades in 2010 with 400-amp service and 17 meter sockets. Recent concerning issues include multiple active violations from early 2023 regarding unpermitted boiler operations (complaints filed on February 1 and February 16), and a current fire code violation from December 2023 related to sleeping area requirements.

The property has experienced recurring fire safety system issues, with violations in 2018 and 2019 regarding fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and related safety equipment, though some of these were subsequently corrected. Historical building maintenance work includes masonry repairs in 2015, marble step refurbishment in 2006, and roof replacement in 2000. The building has undergone various routine inspections, with some past tenant complaints about hot water supply issues in 1999 and exterior paint conditions. A notable pattern of sidewalk debris issues has been documented through multiple 311 calls in 2024, though these are external to the building's internal systems. The property has experienced several fire department responses, primarily for system activations, smoke removal, and one contained cooking fire, with no reported civilian injuries in these incidents. While the building has received various upgrades over the years, the current status of both boiler permit compliance and sleeping area requirements suggests ongoing regulatory oversight will be necessary.

Risk rating

How 2195 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
21th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 761 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Number of units

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 28.5%
Moderate concern 49.3%
Severe concern 22.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
