Rent & eviction protection

Is 2728 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 1914

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 three-story multi-family residential building located at 2728 Baker Street in Cow Hollow was constructed in 1914 and contains two units, currently owned by Flood Peter & Deborah Fam T. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, including multiple roofing projects completed in 1991 and 2008 at costs of approximately $5,800, as well as substantial interior remodeling and a horizontal addition completed in 1990. A notable safety concern was documented in 2009 when complaints were filed regarding faulty wiring, unsafe exterior deck railings, and potentially unpermitted work, though these issues were subsequently resolved within a week.

More recent history shows the property has experienced recurring issues with waste management and parking enforcement. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been multiple documented instances of garbage receptacles (toters) being left out continuously, and several complaints regarding sidewalk parking violations, particularly involving a white BMW X5 (license plate 8TKN903). Two parking enforcement calls were made in May 2024 alone regarding this vehicle. Additionally, in 2021, there was a period of illegal postings that required removal by the SES Graffiti Crew, and in April 2021, a general complaint was filed with the Planning Department for further review. While these issues primarily relate to property management and street use rather than building safety, they do indicate ongoing maintenance of common areas and adherence to local regulations could be improved.

Risk rating

How 2728 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
72ndpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 241 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
