Rent & eviction protection

Is 2614 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 1910
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH3
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

2614 Sutter Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights. Built in 1910, this flats and duplex-style property has undergone several significant improvements and faced some regulatory challenges over the past few years. Most notably, the building has experienced multiple issues related to window replacements, culminating in a code enforcement case (202184692) filed in November 2021 regarding unauthorized installation of vinyl windows on the top floor front facade. This violation was ultimately resolved with the installation of compliant windows (wood and hung) completed in January 2024, following a series of permits and compliance actions between 2023-2024.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, including water heater replacements in 2020 and 2008, and infrastructure work such as sewer line repairs and permeation grout installation at the right property line in 2014. Earlier significant improvements include a complete reroofing project (2002) and the creation of habitable space in the lower level (2002), indicating proactive property maintenance by the ownership. Recent patterns indicate recurring issues with sidewalk parking violations near the property, with multiple enforcement actions taken between 2022-2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions or maintenance. The building has also had some instances of unpermitted work in 2021 (regarding bathroom repairs), but these complaints appear to have been resolved. Overall, while the building has faced some regulatory challenges regarding window replacements, recent compliance actions suggest improved adherence to building codes, and the property's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure and systems upgrades.

Risk rating

How 2614 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.
