Rent & eviction protection

Is 2613 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.

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.

Built 1890
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

This 2-story multi-family residential building, located at 2613 Sutter Street in Lower Pacific Heights, is owned by Dara L & Brian Bates and was constructed in 1890. The property contains three residential units and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. In 2018, the electrical systems were substantially upgraded with a 200-amp service installation including four meters. The property saw major renovations in 2007-2008, including the construction of a new rear addition with roof deck, comprehensive interior remodeling of both floors with kitchen updates, and the installation of radiant heat. Earlier improvements include a 2015 reroofing project costing $9,000, and in 2001, the building addressed a violation related to unauthorized stair repairs and replacements. Historical records show the building received proper housing number assignments in 2005, replacing the former 2614 1/2 designation.

Recent activity in the surrounding area has primarily involved street and sidewalk maintenance, with multiple reports of human or animal waste and parking violations recorded between 2023 and 2024. The building's maintenance history shows proper attention to major systems, with records indicating regular upkeep including roofing, electrical systems, and compliance with safety standards. The property currently shows no active violations or complaints, and recent 311 calls have been primarily related to street conditions rather than building-specific issues. The building has successfully obtained necessary variances for rear yard modifications, demonstrating compliance with local planning requirements.

Risk rating

How 2613 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
72ndpercentile
