Rent & eviction protection

Is 2739-2741 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 1945
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1945
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

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2739-2741 McAllister Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood was built in 1945 and has undergone significant recent renovations and additions. The major transformation occurred in 2015 when the property was converted from two to three residential units through a substantial $500,000 horizontal rear addition and first-floor remodeling to include a three-car garage and utility room. This project initiated numerous follow-up improvements, including a new fire sprinkler system installation in 2023 and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades throughout the building. While most recent permits (2023 window replacements and 2022 patio door addition) have been properly issued, there was one notable building complaint in 2022 regarding work potentially beyond the permitted scope, though this complaint was later abated.

The property has experienced several infrastructure challenges, particularly with the sidewalk area, evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk defects and blocked conditions between 2022 and 2024. Most recently, in September 2024, an open case was reported for a collapsed sidewalk. During 2023, there were also concerns about construction equipment blocking the sidewalk, though this was addressed with temporary concrete modifications to mitigate tripping hazards. The building's systems have been actively maintained, as shown by recent permit activity in January 2024 for plumbing renewals, and all historical permits (including a 1991 reroofing permit) appear to have been properly managed. The property's recent improvements have focused on modernization and compliance, with particular attention to safety features such as the new fire sprinkler system, though retention of some original architectural elements is noted in permits for window and door replacements.

Risk rating

How 2739-2741 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.

Neighborhood percentile
31stpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 358 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
