Rent & eviction protection

Is 2710 Baker 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 1915

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

2710 Baker Street is a four-story, five-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, presently owned by 2710 Baker Street Partners. The building has undergone significant improvements and maintenance over the years, with the most recent work being the replacement of four glass panels with tempered glazing on the fourth story, completed in July 2024. The property has demonstrated commitment to safety upgrades, completing a mandatory seismic retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $80,000 and addressing several structural concerns in 2016 related to wall stability. Unit renovations are documented throughout the building's history, with substantial work performed in Units 1, 2, 4, and 5 including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades, and plumbing improvements.

The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, including a notable roof leak in 2021 affecting Unit 5, which required $10,000 in repairs. Historical violations from 2005-2014 primarily related to fire safety concerns, such as fire extinguisher maintenance and fire escape ladder repairs, though all were resolved by September 2014. More recent issues have included two noise complaints in August 2024 and a sewage backup incident in June 2022, both of which were addressed by city services. The property has maintained compliance with housing inspections, with all routine inspections showing cases marked as Not Active. Planning records indicate the property completed a glass replacement project at the top floor rear, and its soft-story retrofit has received final certification. Recent 311 calls have primarily related to parking enforcement and street cleaning issues, which are typical for urban environments.

Risk rating

How 2710 Baker 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 663 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
