Rent & eviction protection

Is 2255 North Point 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 1929
2 or more units

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.

Built 1929
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 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2255 North Point Street in the Marina district, constructed in 1929 and owned by Preston Properties LLC, has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades and maintenance work over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2018, including wall strengthening at the garage/storage level, with a total investment of $100,000. Recent improvements include a fire alarm system upgrade completed in November 2023 to comply with SFFD code, following a regular pattern of fire system maintenance with multiple fire alarm complaints dating back to 2006-2024 being resolved as conditions corrected or violations addressed. The building has seen periodic unit improvements, including recent kitchen remodels in units 301 (2022) and 103 (2008), reroofing work in 1991 and 2022, and the installation of a replacement steam boiler in 2010.

The property has a history of addressing building code requirements and maintenance issues, including three fire-related violations from 2002 (boiler issues) and 2008 (fire proofing), all of which were abated. A notable soft-story complaint file in 2022 regarding construction work during shelter-in-place orders, and another complaint about work beyond permit scope in 2022 were both marked as not active. Fire safety systems have been regularly maintained, with the most recent fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 costing $52,751. The building's history shows consistent ownership attention to fire safety compliance, with regular inspections and prompt resolution of violations. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily been related to parking issues and tree maintenance matters outside the building. The property's maintenance record demonstrates ongoing investment in building systems and compliance with municipal requirements, particularly regarding seismic safety and fire systems.

Risk rating

How 2255 North Point 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
30thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 692 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
