Rent & eviction protection

Is 222 Webster 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 1924
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1924
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 222 Webster St in Hayes Valley is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently held by the Murray 1988 Trust Udt. The building has undergone several significant modifications and improvements over recent years, most notably the legalization of an existing ground floor unit in 2023 (cost: $119,375) and completion of required soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2016 (cost: $60,000). A compliance issue in 2017 resulted in multiple building violations that were resolved by October 2017, addressing various safety concerns including smoke detector repairs, window issues, and the removal of storage from egress paths.

Recent tenant complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, with the most recent issues reported in March 2024 involving rotting windows, mold, worn hallway carpet, and back door safety concerns. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, including leaks and water damage, particularly affecting multiple units in 2019 and 2017, with associated mold issues noted in some complaints. The property has also been subject to routine housing inspections in 2012 and 2002, with various violations and repair needs identified and subsequently addressed. Maintenance history includes a 1987 fire damage repair, 2005 dry rot repairs, and multiple unit improvements such as kitchen remodeling and vent pipe installation in 1999-2000. Recent plumbing work is underway as of January 2025, involving fixture updates in Apartment 8.

Risk rating

How 222 Webster 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
29thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 729 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
