Rent & eviction protection

Is 2663 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 1913
2 or more units
9 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM1
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.

Built 1913
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, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 2663 California Street, owned by Rc Amore Realtors LLC, was constructed in 1913 in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there was an urgent complaint in December 2022 regarding mold infestation affecting tenant health, particularly concerning a young child, though this complaint is listed as not active. In July-August 2023, the building faced plumbing code violations involving basement water heater venting, unsupported gas and water piping, and safety valve discharge issues, which have since been corrected. The summer of 2023 also saw multiple improvements including a kitchen remodel and the installation of a hydronic wall heater for Apartment #1, along with the addition of new electrical circuits and outlets for a kitchenette.

The building's electrical and safety systems have undergone various upgrades and repairs over the years, including a major electrical gear replacement project in 2017-2019 involving nine meters and service upgrades, though the initial permit expired and required renewal. Fire safety systems have been a recurring focus, with multiple fire alarm system complaints (most recently in July 2024) and several false alarms or system malfunctions recorded over the years, though all were marked as having no civilian injuries and most were resolved promptly. Historical issues include extensive plaster cracking, dry rot, and bathroom damage documented in 1999, and there have been routine safety inspections conducted in 1999 and 2013. The property has maintained compliance with most regulatory requirements, though some past violations and complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent building improvements and the prompt resolution of recent violations indicate active management of the property, particularly regarding immediate safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 2663 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 516 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
