Rent & eviction protection

Is 2927 Sacramento 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

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

2927 Sacramento St is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 2927 Sacramento A2 LP. The property has undergone extensive renovations and safety upgrades in recent years, with most units receiving significant improvements between 2019-2022. Major projects include seismic safety improvements completed in 2021, a comprehensive electrical system upgrade in 2019 including a new 400-amp service with 12 meters, and unit-specific renovations involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, washer/dryer installations, and various infrastructure improvements. The building's fire safety systems have also been enhanced, with a voluntary fire alarm system upgrade in 2019 and subsequent fire safety inspections.

The property has maintained compliance with safety regulations, though there were some historical issues in 2010 related to smoke detectors and a 2010 mold complaint which were promptly addressed. A more recent fire complaint from October 2024 regarding hazardous materials was resolved by December 2024. The building was confirmed to have completed its Tier 3 soft story retrofit requirements, demonstrating adherence to earthquake safety standards. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement issues, with several documented cases of driveway blocking between 2023-2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 2927 Sacramento 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 751 are predicted to be safer.
