Rent & eviction protection

Is 2416 Geary Blvd 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 1971
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1971
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 4-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2416 Geary Boulevard in Lower Pacific Heights, built in 1971 and currently owned by the Ev Shpotnik Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and system upgrades over its history. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received a $14,000 reroofing project, continuing the building's history of roof maintenance which began in 2000 and included a substantial installation of 40-year asphalt laminated shingles in 2002. The property has seen multiple water heater upgrades, with the most recent installation completed in April 2023, following an emergency replacement in March 2017.

The building's history includes some concerning incidents, most notably a gas leak incident recorded in the fire department's database, though no civilian injuries were reported. There was also a notable complaint in 1997 regarding a possible illegal unit above the garage that was referred to building inspection, and an attempt to legalize a fifth unit in the building through planning records. While the property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2001, 2004, and 2008, which is typical for multifamily dwellings, there was a complaint about mold in the living room filed in 2008. Recent years have seen several 311 calls primarily related to street cleaning and public works issues in the vicinity of the building, including multiple reports of garbage and debris on the street and sidewalk between 2022 and 2025, though these exterior issues do not directly reflect on the building's condition. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and compliance with housing regulations, with all recent work being properly permitted and completed.

Risk rating

How 2416 Geary Blvd'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
88thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 80 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
