Rent & eviction protection

Is 2288-2298 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 1909
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 1909
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 2288-2298 Fulton Street is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by 322-332 Stanyan I6 LLC. The building has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring water damage issues, with recent complaints in 2024 documenting mold growth, ceiling leaks, and damp walls. The building experienced a fire incident in 2017 that affected the top floor, requiring substantial repairs and window replacements. Recent building improvements include a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017-2018, various unit renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels, and the addition of two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in 2020, though records indicate substantial structural work and plumbing modifications.

The property has shown ongoing maintenance and safety concerns, particularly regarding fire safety systems and water management. While fire extinguisher and alarm system violations have been regularly addressed, there was a significant period of deferred maintenance noted in 2024. Multiple permits indicate systematic upgrades to electrical and plumbing systems, including a new 400-amp service installation and extensive plumbing work for multiple units. Recent 311 calls show recurring issues with garbage and debris on the property, and parking violations were noted in 2024. The building's history reveals a pattern of addressing violations and making improvements, though recent water intrusion issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property's management has attempted to comply with various building codes and requirements, as evidenced by multiple completed permits and repairs.

Risk rating

How 2288-2298 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.
