Rent & eviction protection

Is 2613-2619 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 1900
2 or more units
3 units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1900
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 Shakoori Family Trust property at 2613-2619 California Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing 3 units in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone significant electrical upgrades, including the installation of a 400-amp building service with five meters in 2013, solar PV modules, and various wiring improvements, though some permits have faced cancellation or expiration issues. Recent maintenance work includes stair tread repairs and addressing dry rot in 2018, as well as fence repairs in 2016 following a complaint. A notable building complaint was filed in 2017 regarding potential unpermitted living quarters in the basement and attic, which was investigated and marked as not active by December 2017.

The property has a history of housing inspections and has faced several building violations in 2002, primarily related to fire safety and security concerns, though these were all abated by January 2003. Recent maintenance and service records show regular upkeep of building systems, including plumbing work for a dryer vent installation in 2012. The area around the property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls for street cleaning, graffiti, and vehicle-related complaints between 2020 and 2023, all of which were resolved by relevant city departments. There have also been references to short-term rental activity concerns at the property, which was ultimately addressed and closed by OSTR staff.

Risk rating

How 2613-2619 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
55thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 302 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

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