Rent & eviction protection

Is 2441-2443 Francisco 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 1930
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH3
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 1930
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-story multi-family residential building at 2441-2443 Francisco Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Roehl Robb & Claudia Sonz F, was constructed in 1930 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, including a comprehensive kitchen remodel of both units (2441 and 2443) in 2014 costing $39,000, followed by corresponding plumbing and electrical work for two kitchens and laundries in August 2014, and the replacement of four street-visibility compliant windows in November 2014. Earlier structural improvements included a foundation bolting and garage wall shear work completed in 1991.

Of particular concern are two building complaints filed in August 2021 regarding serious fire safety and egress hazards, including a sealed exit door, blockage with tool storage, and piled boxes near exit doors, though these issues were marked as "Not Active" shortly after reporting. The building has been subject to routine housing inspections in 2000 and 2009, with no noted violations in the records. More recently, there has been a recurring issue with parking violations near the property, with multiple enforcement actions taken between November 2022 and September 2024, including several citations for blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks. A hazardous condition was recorded as part of a fire incident, though no civilian injuries were reported. While many historical permits demonstrate regular maintenance and upgrades to the property, the 2021 egress issues represent the most significant safety-related event on record in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2441-2443 Francisco 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
32ndpercentile
