Rent & eviction protection

Is 2772 Golden Gate Ave 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.

Annual rent increase cap

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 two-unit residential building at 2772 Golden Gate Avenue in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1875, currently owned by Jeremiah G Murphy. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a voluntary seismic retrofit completed in 2021 (with costs of $10,000) followed by a related revision to footings and gridlines between units completed in 2021 (costing $50,000). Historical records show earlier maintenance work including repairs to back stairs in 1998.

The property has faced several housing safety inspections over the years, with notable violations recorded in January 2005 concerning emergency exiting and smoke detector compliance, though these issues were promptly abated the same day. A routine safety inspection was conducted in 2016. The building's more recent history has shown no active housing violations or complaints, though a fire-related complaint from 2013 was resolved in 2015 with conditions corrected. While not directly related to building conditions, there have been multiple parking-related incidents near the property between 2019 and 2024, including several instances of vehicles parking on the sidewalk and one complaint about a blocking driveway, with various enforcement actions taken. The property has also required occasional street and sidewalk cleaning services, with reports of loose garbage in 2020 and 2021.

Risk rating

How 2772 Golden Gate Ave'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
90thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 52 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
