Rent & eviction protection

Is 2275 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units

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 11-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2275 Sutter Street, owned by Huddleston Living Trust, was built in 1900 and has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 (completed in 2016), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes a September 2023 reroofing project costing $22,300, and a 2023 sewer lateral replacement, though the latter permit has expired. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, with the most recent violations occurring in early 2023, where the property was cited for inadequate heating, roof weatherproofing, and mold issues, all of which were abated by August 2023. Historical complaints from 2006 indicated problems with mold, interior wall conditions, and plumbing, while more recent fire safety concerns have been documented, though most were promptly corrected. The property has maintained a generally consistent record of addressing violations, completing necessary structural work, and undergoing regular inspections, including a routine safety inspection in 2013 and multiple fire safety inspections.

The building's fire safety record shows multiple alarm system-related complaints between 2011 and 2023, with most being promptly resolved as "Condition Corrected." There have been no significant fire incidents resulting in injuries, though there were several false alarms and minor cooking-related incidents recorded by the fire department. Recent plumbing and structural maintenance work, including the roof replacement and sewer lateral update, suggests ongoing investment in building upkeep, though the expired sewer permit may warrant attention. The property has a documented tenant buyout from 2017 for $12,500 involving one tenant, and its soft-story retrofit was completed under Tier 3 requirements, indicating full compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety mandates.

Risk rating

How 2275 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
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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

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

Director's hearings (past 7 years)
