Rent & eviction protection

Is 2583-2597 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 1900
2 or more units
16 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 16-unit multi-family residential building at 2583-2597 Pine Street in Lower Pacific Heights, built in 1900 and currently owned by Albert C Susor Living Trust, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed a soft-story retrofit in 2015-2017, which included upgrading existing ground floor walls to shear walls, along with additional foundation work and electrical grounding improvements. The building's fire safety systems have required ongoing attention, with recent violations noted for sleeping area requirements (December 2023) and previous issues with alarm systems and blocked exits between 2018-2022, though some of these have been marked as "No Merit" or "Condition Corrected." Major infrastructure updates include the replacement of the building's boiler and domestic hot water system in 2008, and repairs to the sewer lateral pipes in 2017.

The property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a series of building violations in 2011 related to fire escape maintenance and egress obstructions, which were abated within two months. Historical records show a 1995 complaint about building vibrations during traffic, suggesting past structural concerns. Recent 311 calls (2024-2025) have primarily related to street maintenance issues such as garbage and debris, with some noise complaints also recorded. The building has experienced three minor fire-related incidents over the years, including a cooking fire and two assistance calls, with no reported civilian injuries. While the most recent fire violation regarding sleeping area requirements remains open as of December 2023, the building's major structural improvements and recent maintenance efforts suggest a focus on addressing safety and habitability standards.

Risk rating

How 2583-2597 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
16thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 563 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

Building age

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