Lower Pacific Heights, SF 94115 1054027 11 units · 3 fl · 1909

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 2881-2885 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 1909
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 1909
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 three-story, 11-unit multi-family residential building at 2881-2885 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by M & K Klestoff 1990 Fmly Tr, has undergone various significant safety upgrades and renovations since its construction in 1909. Most recently, in November 2023, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has a documented history of fire safety improvements, including previous fire sprinkler head extensions in 2019, and regular maintenance of fire alarm systems, with five fire-related complaints between 2006-2023 showing a pattern of responsive maintenance and corrections.

The property has undergone multiple unit renovations and improvements, most notably in 2018 when unit #2 at 2883 Bush Street was reconfigured with new kitchen and bath areas, and the legalization of a studio efficiency apartment was completed. Complete electrical and plumbing upgrades were performed throughout the building, including the installation of new subpanels, lighting, and appliance connections. Historical records show several past violations and complaints, primarily from the early 2000s, regarding fire safety features such as smoke detectors, emergency exits, and stair repairs, though all were promptly addressed and abated by July 2003. The building's maintenance history indicates regular investment in updating systems and addressing resident needs, with no active violations or complaints currently on record, and recent work demonstrates ongoing commitment to meet modern safety standards and building codes.

Risk rating

How 2881-2885 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
