Rent & eviction protection

Is 2444-2446 Fulton 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 1900
2 or more units
3 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 1900
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 residential building at 2444-2446 Fulton Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Allen & Lucita Mitchell Rev. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent work in 2023 involving the installation of in-unit laundry facilities, complete with electrical and plumbing upgrades. In 2022, 400 square feet of non-street-visible siding was replaced on the building's east side with Hardie Plank materials. A notable renovation occurred in 2003 when the rear wood stairway was repaired and the ground floor was remodeled to add two bedrooms and a full bathroom, accompanied by extensive electrical upgrades including the installation of 200-amp service and additional kitchen features.

The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over its history, particularly concerning the rear wood stairs, which were the subject of multiple building violations in 2003, 2009, and 2016. A 2022 complaint reported serious interior problems including lack of heat, mold, and water leakage, and a 2020 complaint raised concerns about lead paint containment. Historical records show a 2003 violation regarding smoke detectors, exhaust flue repairs, fire extinguishers, and emergency exits, while a 2009 routine inspection noted the need for unit identification numbers. The property has undergone regular safety inspections, with most violations being addressed promptly, though some issues persisted over time. Recent 311 calls between 2021-2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance matters such as graffiti removal and illegal postings, as well as cases of damaged trees and park maintenance requests in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 2444-2446 Fulton 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.

Neighborhood percentile
32ndpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 353 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
