Rent & eviction protection

Is 2011 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 1915
2 or more units
6 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1915
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 three-story, six-unit apartment building at 2011 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1915, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019, achieving compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. Between 2020 and 2021, the property underwent important fire safety upgrades, including the installation of a 13R automatic wet-pipe sprinkler system and a modern fire alarm system, demonstrating a commitment to resident safety. The building is currently undergoing kitchen and bathroom remodeling work, including electrical upgrades, with permits issued in late 2024 for this $60,000 project.

The property has faced several maintenance and compliance challenges over the years, particularly regarding its boiler system, with multiple violations recorded between 2015 and 2020 related to permit renewals. Recent tenant complaints in 2021 highlighted issues with heat, hot water, and pest problems, though these were resolved according to housing inspection records. Other notable incidents include a 2023 complaint about a fallen fence creating egress concerns, which was resolved within two months. The building's conversion work has also included the addition of two Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and various unit-specific improvements, including recent tenant buyouts in November 2024 for $25,000. The property has a history of proper maintenance of essential systems, as evidenced by various plumbing and electrical upgrades, though some maintenance issues have required intervention, such as the recent sidewalk defect reported in 2023. The building's management has generally addressed violations and complaints in a timely manner, with most issues marked as resolved according to city records.

Risk rating

How 2011 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

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 915 are predicted to be safer.
