Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2935-2937 Washington 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
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 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

The three-unit residential building at 2935-2937 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Eric Larson, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a 2021 sewer line replacement and a 2022 electrical upgrade that increased the main service to 200 amps with three unit meters and one house meter. The two-story, 1900-built structure has an extensive history of maintenance and safety concerns, most notably in 2002 when multiple violations were documented, including issues with water damage, electrical problems, mold and mildew, fire safety concerns, and security requirements. These violations, though all marked as "Not active," included an April 2002 final warning letter and multiple categories of infractions related to interior surfaces, plumbing, electrical systems, fire safety, and building structure.

The building's maintenance history shows some recurring issues, such as water damage, which was documented in both 2002 and 2012. More recent complaints include a 2013 routine safety inspection by Housing Inspection Services. The property has experienced some minor external issues in recent years, with three instances of graffiti reported in 2023, though one case remains open as of September 2023. The building's location has faced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by several parking-related complaints in 2020-2024, including multiple cases of driveway blockage. A single alarm activation incident was recorded with no fire or civilian injuries. The property's permit history, particularly the recent major infrastructure improvements, suggests ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading building systems, though the 2002 violations indicate there were significant maintenance issues that required attention at that time.

Risk rating

How 2935-2937 Washington 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
50thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 482 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
