Rent & eviction protection

Is 2127-2131 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

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 property at 2127-2131 Pine Street is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Omar Khayat. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past few years, with the most notable recent work including repairs to dry-rot damage at the rear wall in 2023, and a substantial interior remodel of Units 1 and 2 in 2022 ($75,000), which included kitchen and bathroom updates, addition of washer/dryer facilities, and equipment replacements. The building has also undergone important safety improvements, including a voluntary ground floor strengthening project in 2019, addition of plywood shear walls, and electrical system upgrades with new subpanels and extensive rewiring work completed between 2019-2022.

Historical records show the building faced several maintenance and safety challenges in 2004, including issues with mold/mildew, damaged walls, interior surface problems, and electrical violations, though all these violations were officially abated by December 2019. The property had some construction-related complaints in mid-2019 regarding unsafe working conditions and debris management during a soft-story retrofit project, though these issues were resolved. More recently, there have been multiple noise complaints (August-September 2024) and some maintenance concerns including a sunken utility vault (May 2023) and missing side sewer vent cover (March 2022). The building’s recent improvements and active maintenance program suggest a significant investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, though the most recent noise complaints indicate potential ongoing resident concerns in this area.

Risk rating

How 2127-2131 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
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.

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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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