Rent & eviction protection

Is 2612 Sutter 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
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 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

The property at 2612 Sutter St in Lower Pacific Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Zee Warner & Helen. The building has undergone significant renovations since 2012, with major work occurring primarily between 2012-2018, including a substantial $450,000 remodeling project in 2012 that added a study, family room, bathroom, and exterior features, along with window replacements and interior updates on both floors. The renovation work has included several structural improvements, with permits for basement wall replacement, shoring work, and structural retrofitting. Comprehensive mechanical system upgrades were completed in 2014-2015, including the installation of radiant heating systems, two boilers, new electrical service, and plumbing improvements, though some permits related to these works were noted as expired. A building complaint was filed in August 2020 regarding allegedly unpermitted work, though this case is currently listed as not active. There have been multiple parking enforcement calls regarding driveway blockage in recent years, with at least three citations issued between 2020-2023, suggesting ongoing parking enforcement issues in the vicinity of the property.

The most recent planning records indicate a proposed addition of 703 square feet to the existing structure, though this appears to be in the "Closed" status with CEQA Clearance Issued, suggesting regulatory review has been completed. The building's extensive renovation history includes multiple system upgrades, such as electrical rewiring, furnace replacements, and comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels, demonstrating significant investment in building improvements over the past decade. While the property has experienced some issues with expired permits and alleged unpermitted work, these complaints are relatively dated compared to the current state of the building. The driveway blocking incidents, while frequent, are more indicative of general neighborhood challenges rather than specific property issues.

Risk rating

How 2612 Sutter 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
33rdpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 449 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
