Rent & eviction protection

Is 2779-2783 Mcallister 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 1906
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1906
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-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 2779-2783 McAllister Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Eric Way Leong, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant renovations over the years. The most recent building permit activity occurred in 2012, when a caretaker room and storage room were added to the first floor, with corresponding electrical work completed in August 2012. Earlier renovations included the addition of a full bathroom at ground floor level in 2008, and various interior improvements to unit 2781 in 2005. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2003 and 2024. These include concerns about ventilation and mold (most recently in February 2024), earlier mold and mouse infestation issues in 2013, and various plumbing and electrical problems including improperly installed water heaters and open wiring in 2013. The property has also faced fire safety concerns, with violations recorded in 2003 regarding smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, combustible storage, and staircase handrails, all of which were abated in January 2004. Multiple 311 calls since 2020 primarily relate to parking issues near the property, with several citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks, though these are external to the building's condition or management.

The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly between 2006-2013, though many of these issues appear to have been addressed through subsequent permits and inspections. Recent complaints have been less frequent, with the most current issues centered around ventilation and mold concerns as of early 2024. The property has maintained active compliance with most building codes, as evidenced by the completion status of numerous permits, though the presence of recurring moisture-related issues suggests some ongoing structural or maintenance challenges. The building's systems have been periodically updated, as shown by multiple plumbing and electrical permits between 2005-2012, indicating efforts to maintain and modernize the property's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 2779-2783 Mcallister 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.
