Rent & eviction protection

Is 2425-2429 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 1895
2 or more units

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 1895
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-unit multi-family residential building at 2425-2429 Post Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by 23rd Austin Post LLC, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects since its construction in 1895. Most recently, in September 2024, permits were issued for substantial basement upgrades including foundation work, structural support repairs, and improvements to the rear exterior stairs at an estimated cost of $150,000. The building has experienced recurring issues with moisture and ventilation, most notably documented in complaints from 2019 and 2008 regarding mold problems and heating system failures. A major plumbing upgrade was completed in 2020 involving the installation of a trench drain and garage improvements. Multiple water damage incidents have been addressed, including waterproofing and dry rot repairs at the rear of the building in 2022, though historical records show these issues have persisted, as evidenced by similar repairs being needed in 2005.

The property has faced several health and safety compliance challenges, as documented in a routine inspection in 2001 that resulted in multiple violations including the need for handrails, security improvements, and sanitation issues, though these were all abated by October 2003. The building has experienced various system malfunctions as recorded in fire department responses, primarily consisting of false alarms and smoke detector activations, with no civilian injuries reported in any incidents. Recent environmental concerns have been noted through 311 calls, particularly regarding waste management and vehicle parking violations, though these are typical urban issues not specific to the building's condition or management. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing attention to structural and safety improvements, with several major systems being updated or replaced over the years, including roofing, plumbing, and various structural components.

Risk rating

How 2425-2429 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.
