Rent & eviction protection

Is 2867 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 1908
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 1908
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 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2867 Sacramento St in Pacific Heights, built in 1908 and owned by Survivors Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2020, the building received a complete reroofing ($27,300), and in 2018, a comprehensive fire safety system upgrade was completed, including new control panels, smoke detectors, and monitoring modules ($9,300). The building's fire safety compliance has been a recurring focus, with a fire sprinkler system installed in 2002, followed by multiple fire alarm system improvements. Historical records from 2000-2002 show several notable renovations, including bathroom relocations, removal of three doors, and creation of off-street parking, though this period also experienced some significant safety concerns with multiple building violations related to egress obstruction, security requirements, and combustible storage issues, all of which were abated by December 2002.

More recent history (2023-2024) suggests ongoing challenges with parking and access, particularly regarding the garage, which was noted in a 2024 complaint for accommodating seven cars when only four could be safely managed. There has been an unusual pattern of parking-related complaints between 2023-2024, with numerous instances of blocked driveways recorded, some resulting in citations. The building has experienced periodic fire alarm-related incidents, with three false alarms recorded between 2016-2024 and two instances of unintentional fires in structures other than buildings, though no civilian injuries were reported. While routine inspections have generally been cleared, the property has seen multiple 311 calls regarding various issues including blocked exits and garbage removal, though many of these were found to have no merit or were otherwise resolved. The most concerning historical violations from the early 2000s were primarily related to fire safety and structural concerns, all of which appear to have been addressed through subsequent renovations and improvements.

Risk rating

How 2867 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

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
62ndpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 366 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
