Rent & eviction protection

Is 2280-2282 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1964

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 1964
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 property at 2280-2282 Golden Gate Avenue in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1964, currently owned by the Margaret George 1992 Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with the most recent work focusing on bathroom improvements, including a 2024 revision to remodel a guest bathroom on the second floor (cost: $20,000), following major bathroom and kitchen renovations in 2023-2024 totaling over $175,000. These improvements included the remodeling of multiple bathrooms, kitchen updates, and the installation of new fixtures throughout the building. The property has also seen substantial system upgrades, including an HVAC changeout to a ducted split heat pump in 2023, electrical rewiring throughout new bathrooms and kitchen, and the installation of safety features such as new smoke detectors.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, with a roof replacement completed in 2013 and a 2021 kitchen remodeling project that included electrical panel upgrades and appliance installations. The property's recent history includes multiple parking enforcement issues, particularly regarding driveway blockages, with numerous citations issued between 2023-2024. There were also two incidents of graffiti reported in 2023, one on a fire hydrant and another on a mailbox, though these were minor public property issues and not directly related to the building itself. The building appears to be well-maintained, with regular updates to keep systems modern and compliant, though prospective tenants should be aware of the ongoing nature of recent renovations and associated activities.

Risk rating

How 2280-2282 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
99thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 5 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.

Building size

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Owner's portfolio size

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