Rent & eviction protection

Is 2332-2336 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 1906
2 or more units

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 three-story multi-family residential building at 2332-2336 Fulton Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a 4-unit flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by the Wai John E 1981 Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations, with the most recent major work completed in 2013 including bathroom remodels, new windows in existing family rooms, and furnace replacement, all totaling approximately $20,000. Between 2009-2010, substantial improvements were made to address multiple code compliance issues, including the replacement of all 51 windows across three units, bathroom conversions from existing closets, and kitchen/bathroom remodels in units #2334 and #2336, with costs totaling over $108,000. However, there are several concerning active violations from 2006 that remain unresolved, including issues with mold/mildew on walls/ceilings, weatherproofing on siding, electrical systems, window repairs, rubbish in garbage areas, stair repairs, and a requirement to recharge fire extinguishers. There have also been multiple complaints and violations regarding interior conditions and building systems between 2006-2012, including plumbing issues like sewer backups and damaged fixtures.

Most recently, in December 2024, there were reports of potentially serious structural issues with the building facade overhanging the sidewalk/street near a bus stop, with one complaint still marked as active. While there have been numerous maintenance and graffiti-related incidents reported through 311 calls in 2023-2024, these are primarily external to the building. The property has a history of requiring multiple interventions to achieve code compliance, with several permits from 2009 showing "Issued" status rather than "Complete," suggesting there may have been subsequent follow-up work required to resolve initial violations. The building's systems have seen significant upgrading during the 2009-2013 period, including electrical service panel upgrades, bathroom additions, and improved lighting systems, though some permits related to these improvements are now marked as expired, indicating they may require follow-up inspections for final approval.

Risk rating

How 2332-2336 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 405 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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