Lower Pacific Heights, SF 94115 1053032 6 units · 3 fl · 1910

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 2729-2739 Bush 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 1910
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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 1910
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 building at 2729-2739 Bush Street is a three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1910, currently owned by Alice Lu and Carlos Enriquez. The property underwent significant improvements between 2010-2023, including a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2018 at a cost of $75,000, installation of new electric vehicle charging stations in 2013, and comprehensive updates to all units' plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC components. Recent major improvements in April 2023 included the installation of a new 2-stage furnace and tankless water heater.

The building has a history of housing maintenance issues and violations, particularly between 2000-2012, including problems with heating systems, plumbing, electrical components, and building structure. Multiple complaints were recorded between 2010-2012 regarding various maintenance issues such as bathroom mold, window functionality, and appliance problems. Notable incidents include a water heater installation without a proper flue in 2010 (subsequently corrected), routine inspection violations in 2011 regarding fire safety equipment, and a significant complaint in 2012 involving multiple issues including ventilation, electrical systems, and appliances. Recent improvements and the completion of the soft-story retrofit suggest substantial investment in building safety and habitability, though it's worth noting that during the building's recent history, all previously recorded violations have been marked as abated, with no active violations on record. The building's systems have been extensively upgraded, including complete electrical system replacements, plumbing updates, and the addition of modern HVAC systems, indicating a commitment to maintaining current safety standards.

Risk rating

How 2729-2739 Bush 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
34thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 442 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
