Rent & eviction protection

Is 2173 Turk 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 1904
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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 1904
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 two-unit residential building at 2173 Turk Blvd in Park North, owned by 2173 Turk Street LLC, was constructed in 1904 as a two-story flats/duplex structure. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most pressing being an active complaint from October 2020 regarding a failing retaining wall that poses a safety hazard. The building underwent several major renovations and repairs between 2014-2021, including site retaining wall replacement (2021), sewer line upgrades (2018), and various interior reconfigurations (2014-2015) including bathroom remodeling, living room modifications, and closet reconfigurations. The property has a documented history of code violations and complaints, particularly in the early 2000s concerning unauthorized unit modifications, including illegal kitchen installations and expansion issues, which led to multiple notices of violation between 2002-2013. Recent maintenance work has focused on compliance and safety improvements, including stair repair in 2014 and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building's complex history also shows attention to infrastructure upgrades, such as a 100-amp electrical service upgrade in 2009, though some work has been performed without proper permits, as evidenced by 2014 complaints. The property has experienced recurring issues with exterior maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage and debris on the property, though these appear to have been promptly addressed.

Risk rating

How 2173 Turk 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
