Rent & eviction protection

Is 2105 Scott 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

The two-story multi-family residential building at 2105 Scott Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Taylor Family Living Trust, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past few decades, with the most recent major work being a sewer repair in December 2012 and a front deck deckboard replacement in July 2006. Three plumbing-related permits from 1996-1997 (two for fence replacements and one for a drain pipe installation) indicate some historical drainage infrastructure work, and there was a documented side sewer issue with odor reported in August 2009. The building's improvement history also includes some proposed but ultimately not completed work: a cancelled skylight installation in 1985 and an expired permit for a third-story addition and second-story remodel in July 1985.

More recent neighborhood activity has primarily involved public infrastructure and maintenance rather than building-specific issues. There were three parking-related sign incidents between 2019-2021 (one defaced and one bent in 2019, and another defaced in July 2021), and some graffiti on a pole in December 2014 that was serviced by the Department of Public Transportation. The most recent incident, in January 2024, involved construction equipment temporarily blocking the sidewalk, though this was promptly resolved within three days. While the building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and repairs, there are no recorded building code violations or safety concerns in the provided data, suggesting generally responsible property management.

Risk rating

How 2105 Scott 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
81stpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 183 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 age

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month risk forecast
Low failure risk 15%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
