Rent & eviction protection

Is 2212-2214 Divisadero 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
2 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-story multi-family residential building at 2212-2214 Divisadero St, located in Pacific Heights, is a 1900 duplex property owned by Peter H. Della Rocca. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent major updates occurring in 2019, including electrical upgrades with the installation of new sub-panels and gas line improvements for both units. The property has experienced recurring sewer-related issues, with multiple sewage backup incidents documented between 2012 and 2021, including three incidents in June 2021 involving a 4-inch sewer vent. Additional maintenance has included window replacements (2011), front stair repairs (2010), and historical improvements such as reroofing (1996), kitchen renovations (1988), and window modifications (1986).

The building's safety systems have faced some challenges, with documented fire alarm system malfunctions occurring on two occasions, though fortunately with no reported civilian injuries. Infrastructure maintenance has been periodically addressed, including a voluntary seismic strengthening attempt in 1997 and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. The property's exterior and surrounding area have experienced typical urban issues such as graffiti (2017) and illegal postings (2020), though these were promptly addressed by city services. Notably, there have been two sidewalk defect reports (2014) near the property, one of which involved approximately 230 square feet of damaged/uneven sidewalk, though inspection of this particular case did not confirm the reported condition.

Risk rating

How 2212-2214 Divisadero 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
77thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 221 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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
