Rent & eviction protection

Is 232-234 Fillmore 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

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 232-234 Fillmore Street in Hayes Valley is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Robert L. Bassinette. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2021-2022, including voluntary seismic strengthening and partial foundation replacement ($20,000), installation of new plumbing fixtures ($10,000), and permeation grouting at the south side property line ($28,000). The property has maintained active compliance with building safety standards, though there have been some maintenance and environmental concerns. Recent service calls in 2024 indicate recurring issues with garbage and debris, including multiple reports of abandoned refrigerator appliances and general waste, as well as graffiti on the building and surrounding areas. A notable complaint was filed in October 2023 regarding a potentially unsafe metal fence barrier between the property and a vacant lot, though this complaint's resolution status is currently listed as "Not Active."

The property's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure with improvements including the installation of new on-demand water heaters (August 2021), bathroom plumbing upgrades, and electrical work to add bathroom plugs, all completed in 2021. Earlier records from 2005 show reroofing work valued at $12,680, and in 1995 repairs were made to wooden stairs, though this permit has since expired. The most recent building activity includes multiple 311 service calls throughout 2023-2024 regarding graffiti, sidewalk blockages, and debris issues, suggesting some ongoing maintenance challenges in the surrounding area. The property is actively maintaining records of its improvements and responding to various municipal inspections, though the recent complaints about debris and graffiti indicate some environmental maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 232-234 Fillmore 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
87thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 134 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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