Rent & eviction protection

Is 2132-2136 Sutter 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.

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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 2132-2136 Sutter Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Hyo J & Kate Y Kim Revoc In, has a documented history of renovations and compliance issues since its construction in 1900. The property underwent several significant renovations between 2004-2012, including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels, stairway repairs, and electrical upgrades, with the most recent substantial work being a completed kitchen and bathroom renovation in 2012 valued at $20,000. Notably, in early 2009, the building experienced a series of violations related to unpermitted construction work, including unauthorized kitchen remodeling and stair construction, which were subsequently addressed and abated by March 2009.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to safety features such as stairway repairs and front exterior work in 2004, though some permits from this period expired without completion. More recent history (2018-2022) has been relatively calm, consisting primarily of routine maintenance issues including sewer-related concerns, tree maintenance, and graffiti removal. A 2020 fire complaint regarding weeds and grass was promptly resolved within two weeks. The property has experienced minimal recent complaints, though there was one noise-related complaint regarding commercial use in a residential apartment that was closed as abated. The building's maintenance and compliance history suggests regular upkeep, with most recent work being properly permitted and completed, though the property did experience some significant issues with unpermitted work approximately 15 years ago.

Risk rating

How 2132-2136 Sutter 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
49thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 342 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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
