Rent & eviction protection

Is 2110 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 1900
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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

Located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood, 2110 Baker Street is a three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900. The property has undergone numerous maintenance and improvement projects over the past several years, with significant work completed between 2019-2022. Recent major structural work included partial foundation replacement and dryrot repairs in 2022 ($38,000) and rear elevation siding replacement in 2022 ($70,000). The building has received various system upgrades, including a complete reroofing in 2020 ($16,000), plumbing upgrades with copper piping installation in 2019, and electrical system improvements including rewiring of unit A and new sub-panel installation in 2016. Multiple routine housing inspections were conducted between 2002-2016, revealing several safety and maintenance issues that were subsequently addressed, including gas meter safety requirements, fire extinguisher maintenance, and security improvements. The property has also undergone several unit-specific renovations, including a 2019 kitchen remodel in unit B and a 2016 kitchen and bathroom renovation in unit A.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with most recent permits focusing on structural and system improvements rather than cosmetic changes. A notable cluster of housing violations was recorded in December 2015 regarding gas meter safety and fire safety equipment, all of which were resolved by February 2016. The property has had periodic issues with dryrot, as evidenced by multiple repair permits, and underwent voluntary seismic framing improvements in 2016. While there have been numerous parking enforcement calls in the surrounding area between 2022-2024, these are external to the property itself. The most recent building-related service request was for a homelessness outreach (August 2024), though this was outside the property's direct management purview. The building's records demonstrate ongoing maintenance attention from ownership, with most recent building permits focusing on structural integrity and system upgrades rather than routine repairs.

Risk rating

How 2110 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
88thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 116 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

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Director's hearings, owner's portfolio

Escalated DBI enforcement actions across all of this owner's buildings.
