Rent & eviction protection

Is 2162 Pine 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 1875

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 1875
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

2162 Pine Street is a 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1875, currently owned by Taneja Mohit and classified as a TIC building with 4 or fewer units. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with major work including a completed soft story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3, CFC Issued), comprehensive fire safety upgrades in 2013 including the installation of a sprinkler system and new heads throughout the ground floor, and substantial electrical system upgrades including replacement of all unit panels and a 400-amp service upgrade. The building has also seen extensive unit renovations, including bathroom and kitchen remodels, laundry installations, and various plumbing improvements between 2013-2014.

The property has experienced several compliance issues, particularly in 2010-2013, including unauthorized window-to-door conversions in unit 103 and various safety violations related to smoke detectors, emergency exits, and fire escape systems. While these violations were ultimately addressed, they resulted in multiple Notice of Violations. More recent maintenance activity has focused on exterior upkeep, with several 311 calls in 2023-2024 primarily related to street cleaning and debris removal. The building's fire safety record shows three alarm activations since 2005, none resulting in fires or injuries, and a historical fire complaint in 2005 was found to have no merit. The property has maintained active compliance with housing inspections, with the most recent routine inspections showing no active violations.

Risk rating

How 2162 Pine 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
68thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 214 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.

Number of units

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
