Rent & eviction protection

Is 202-212 Ivy 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 1911

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 1911
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 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 202-212 Ivy Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Artal Living Trust, was constructed in 1911 and is classified as an Apartment 5 to 14 Units building. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work completed in 2024 involving final inspections of earlier permitted work. Notable renovations in 2018 included foundation replacement at the exterior west wall, reroofing, and a substantial unit 210 remodel that featured kitchen and bath upgrades, the installation of a tankless water heater, and two new skylights. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofitting requirements as a Tier 3 building, achieving CFC issuance.

The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of routine upkeep and modernization efforts, including the installation of high-efficiency wall heaters in multiple units in 2018, plumbing upgrades, and electrical improvements. Some historical concerns were addressed promptly, such as violations from 2007-2008 regarding security features, alarm systems, and floor coverings, which were all abated by January 2008. More recent tenant complaints from 2018 included issues with broken windows and bathroom flooring, though these were marked as not active. The property has experienced several fire-related incidents, primarily involving false alarms and no reported injuries. Recent 311 calls (2024-2025) have mostly centered around street cleaning and debris issues outside the building, with one open case regarding an overgrown tree from December 2024. A complaint about possible illegal short-term rentals was investigated but showed no pattern of violations.

Risk rating

How 202-212 Ivy 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.
