Rent & eviction protection

Is 2057 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 1913
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
NC2
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 1913
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 property at 2057 Divisadero Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building with retail space, constructed in 1913 and containing two residential units, located in the Pacific Heights neighborhood. The building underwent significant commercial renovations in 2016-2018, transforming from a specialty grocery store to a limited restaurant with associated deli features. This project included relocation of deli food prep areas, installation of new restrooms, entry door modifications, and various utility upgrades costing approximately $120,000, along with associated plumbing and electrical work. The commercial space improvements prompted one building complaint in November 2016 regarding alleged unpermitted construction work, though this case is currently listed as not active.

The recent history of the property from August 2024 to October 2024 shows recurring issues with abandoned furniture, debris, and a refrigerator on the sidewalk, though most of these cases were resolved promptly by city services. There is an open case regarding an overgrown tree as of July 2024, and several completed 311 calls relate to graffiti removal and illegal postings. The building's historical records show earlier improvements including accessibility upgrades in 2002 and reroofing work in 1992, though these permits have since expired. The commercial space has received various permits and approvals for retail use, including ABC Type 21 and Type 86 licenses, and health department approvals for its grocery and limited restaurant functions, confirming its legal use as a combined residential and commercial property in the NC-2 Zoning District.

Risk rating

How 2057 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
74thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 250 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
