Rent & eviction protection

Is 2085 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 1924

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

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 five-story, 39-unit multi-family residential building at 2085 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Jeffrey Litke Revocable Property Trust, was constructed in 1924 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past year. Most notably, there are active fire safety violations from 2023-2024 related to sleeping area requirements and a sprinkler service requirement that remains open as of now. Recent tenant complaints include concerns about construction practices in 2022-2023, with residents reporting issues related to dust, noise, and work being performed without proper permits during exterior restoration. A recurring theme in tenant complaints pertains to window issues, with reports of malfunctioning windows and water intrusion problems dating back to 2020. The building's history includes a cluster of violations from December 2007 that were resolved by May 2008, addressing various security, fire, and plumbing concerns, and a complete reroofing project from 2007 costing approximately $16,716. Additionally, there have been multiple fire incidents recorded, including carbon monoxide and gas leak incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The building has also experienced elevator-related emergencies requiring fire department response, highlighting ongoing elevator system challenges. Recent building permit activity from 2020 suggests continued maintenance work, though with at least one recent complaint about unpermitted work involving a portable toilet on the property.

Risk rating

How 2085 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
0thpercentile

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