Rent & eviction protection

Is 2345 Post 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 1925
2 or more units
22 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1925
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

2345 Post Street is a 22-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925 in Lower Pacific Heights, currently owned by Grinsell Lake LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements to maintain safety and compliance, most notably completing a mandatory seismic retrofit in 2015 that included the installation of shear walls and moment frames under the soft-story ordinance. Recent major work includes a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 costing $44,000 to meet current fire safety standards, reflecting ongoing attention to safety infrastructure.

The building has experienced various maintenance and safety challenges over the years, including multiple fire safety code violations, though these have generally been promptly addressed. Recent concerns in 2022 highlighted ventilation issues in common areas and problems with fire door functionality, while 2023-2024 saw violations related to sleeping area requirements and sprinkler systems that were subsequently corrected. The property has maintained active compliance with its soft-story retrofit requirements, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status. Earlier incidents include a 2021 vehicle collision that damaged the garage door and various plumbing and electrical improvements, such as a 2014 boiler replacement and a 2017 apartment remodel in Unit 38. The building has also undergone exterior maintenance, including wood siding replacement in 2014 and 2014-2016 repairs following various violations.

Risk rating

How 2345 Post 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
5thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 636 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
