Rent & eviction protection

Is 2000 Grove 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 1925
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.

Built 1925
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, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 2000 Grove Street in Park North, owned by Wolf Family 1998 Trust, has undergone significant improvements and modifications since its construction in 1925. Most notably, the property completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit work as a Tier 3 building, and followed through with substantial safety upgrades including the installation of a fire sprinkler system (2021), fire alarm system upgrade (2022), and various unit remodels. The building has seen comprehensive unit renovations in 2020-2021, including electrical upgrades, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and insulation improvements in Units 2, 4, and 6. A new heating system with split AC units was installed in 2020-2024, though recent permits indicate ongoing HVAC upgrades including a new heat pump system for an ADU unit in 2024.

The building has experienced several issues requiring attention over the years, most of which have been resolved. These include past violations related to fire safety equipment, gas meter instructions, and a 2020 complaint about back stairs with dry rot. The property underwent a routine safety inspection in 2017 and faced multiple boiler permit compliance issues between 2011-2021, all of which were subsequently addressed. The addition of two ADU units was completed according to city regulations, and the building's fire safety systems have been actively maintained, with recent inspections showing compliance. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2020, with one tenant receiving $109,087.92. The property has experienced minimal fire-related incidents, with only two recorded activations between 2016-2023, none resulting in injuries or damage. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues rather than building-specific concerns, and parking-related complaints have been addressed through normal enforcement channels.

Risk rating

How 2000 Grove 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
7thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 741 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 tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Director's hearings (past 7 years)

Director's hearings are escalated enforcement actions for buildings that haven't resolved violations — a serious signal.
