Rent & eviction protection

Is 2158-2160 Beach 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 1938

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.

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 two-unit residential building at 2158-2160 Beach Street in San Francisco's Marina district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1938, currently owned by Janice E. Davoren. The building's maintenance history shows several significant repairs were made in the 1990s, including reroofing, removal of damaged stucco, and replacement of closet wall sections due to dry rot in 1993. In 2014, the sewer lateral line was replaced, demonstrating attention to infrastructure maintenance. A notable building complaint was filed in 2005 regarding unauthorized construction activity, though this appears to have been addressed through window and slider replacements at the rear of the building.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly regarding driveway blockages, with eight documented incidents between 2022 and 2024. Most of these violations resulted in citations being issued, though some enforcement officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. More recently, there have been three service requests related to garbage and debris between 2022 and 2024, suggesting occasional concerns about sanitation maintenance. A single false fire alarm incident was recorded, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's documented permit history and maintenance records indicate that while there have been some maintenance issues over the years, most have been addressed through appropriate repairs and improvements.

Risk rating

How 2158-2160 Beach 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
90thpercentile
