Pacific Heights, SF 94115 1004021 7 units · 3 fl · 1905

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 2088-2090 Broderick 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 1905
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 1905
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, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 2088-2090 Broderick Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1905, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance over the past several years, with particular attention to fire safety systems and unit renovations. Most recently, between 2021 and 2023, the building has seen substantial fire safety upgrades, including the installation of an AES radio communicator, fire panel modifications, and the replacement of fire alarm devices to comply with San Francisco Fire Department requirements. The building achieved compliance with the Soft Story Retrofit requirements and received its Certificate of Final Completion. Multiple units have received modernizations, including Unit 1 in 2021 with kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and Units 5 and 7 in 2017-2018 with similar updates. The property has required regular maintenance, including repairs to the rear staircase due to dry rot in 2021 and wood siding replacement in 2018.

The building has a history of addressing violations systematically, with significant issues occurring in 2002 related to sanitation, heating systems, security, and fire escape maintenance, all of which were abated by November 2003. Prior to the recent renovations, there was a documented instance of mold and mildew in 2005. There have been several 311 calls regarding parking-related issues near the property, particularly between 2021 and 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking in the area, though these are external to the building itself. The property underwent a tenant buyout in 2016 involving two tenants for $10,000. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to individual units and compliance with modern safety requirements, with the most recent building permits focusing on life safety system improvements and unit maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2088-2090 Broderick 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
51stpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 472 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 units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Owner's portfolio size

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