Rent & eviction protection

Is 2245 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 before 1979
Built 1928
2 or more units

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

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

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 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 2245 Beach Street in the Marina district, owned by George & Janice Guglielmo R, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1928. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (as a Tier 4 building), enhancing its structural safety and receiving a Certificate of Final Completion. Recent improvements include a 2022 balcony upgrade ($20,000) with new code-compliant railings and Ipe decking, reroofing work ($3,000), and the resolution of a 2021 water damage issue that resulted in multiple building violations for Unit #2 involving mold, buckled flooring, and damaged walls, which were all abated by March 2022.

The property has a history of unit-specific renovations, including comprehensive updates to several apartments over the years. Unit #2 received significant improvements in 2012 with a full kitchen remodel, laundry plumbing installation, and electrical upgrades. Unit #6 underwent bathroom renovations in 2014, while similar updates were performed in Unit #5 in 2013. The building has also seen necessary infrastructure upgrades, such as electrical panel improvements and the installation of a car charger in 2016, and the replacement of balcony railings and waterproofing work in 2022. A notable 2018 complaint regarding unpermitted asbestos removal work in the garage area was filed but subsequently closed. More recent concerns have primarily involved parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, and a sewage backup incident in late 2023 that was promptly addressed.

Risk rating

How 2245 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
18thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 810 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
