Rent & eviction protection

Is 2973-2975 Jackson 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 1911
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1911
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, the four-story multi-family residential building at 2973-2975 Jackson Street was constructed in 1911 and currently contains two units owned by Sebastien and Julie Lepinard. The property has undergone significant renovations in 2023, including a major remodeling project valued at $789,000 that encompasses both units, with work on decks, lighting, electrical systems, and the installation of a new elevator serving both units. Additional improvements this year include waterproofing and new siding on the west wall, the addition of a gas fireplace insert, and modifications to the roof deck. In late 2022, substantial interior work was completed, including the remodeling of two kitchens and six bathrooms, along with corresponding plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building has a history of addressing safety and maintenance issues, with previous violations including a 2003 complaint regarding inadequate notification of neighboring property owners during excavation, though this was abated within weeks. Earlier renovation history shows significant electrical work completed in 2005-2006, including the installation of parking equipment and comprehensive rewiring of both units.

The most recent building permits indicate ongoing attention to both aesthetic and functional improvements, with work extending to include new plumbing fixtures, electrical systems, and structural modifications. The property has experienced minimal regulatory issues in recent years, with only one notable complaint in 2012 regarding an excessively tall fence, which has since been resolved. Regular maintenance and modernization efforts appear to be a priority for the current ownership, with multiple permits issued throughout 2023 for various improvements, including safety features and comfort enhancements.

Risk rating

How 2973-2975 Jackson 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
93rdpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 67 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

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Building age

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