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 2833-2837 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.

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 1895
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 2833-2837 Sacramento Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1895 in Pacific Heights, containing three units and currently owned by Nathan Gonzalez and Apple Ali. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with substantial work completed between 2017-2018 including bathroom and kitchen upgrades, lower level refinishing, structural work, and the removal of two chimney stacks. The most recent major renovation, completed in 2018, involved comprehensive updates to multiple bathrooms, heating system installation, and electrical rewiring of various areas. The building's infrastructure has been actively maintained, with records showing plumbing work including sewer line repairs and various fixture relocations between 2008-2018, and electrical updates to accommodate modern appliances and safety systems.

Historically, the building faced several building code violations in 2003 relating to plumbing, electrical systems, and fire safety issues, though these were all promptly addressed and abated by July 2003. The property underwent a condominium conversion process which was successfully completed, and recent improvements have focused on both aesthetic and functional upgrades, including facade matching improvements and interior reconfigurations. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both preventive and corrective measures, with no recorded fire incidents other than a false alarm, and no active violations or complaints at present. The only recorded tenant buyout occurred in June 2017 for one tenant in the amount of $41,306.13. External to the building itself, there have been various neighborhood issues reported through 311 calls between 2018-2024, primarily relating to parking and street maintenance, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 2833-2837 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
58thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 404 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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