Rent & eviction protection

Is 2844-2850 Cabrillo 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 1948
2 or more units

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 1948
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-unit multi-family residential building at 2844-2850 Cabrillo Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by David Couturier, has undergone significant maintenance and improvement work since its construction in 1948. Most recently, in early 2024, the property received skylight and roofing replacements, and in late 2023, underwent siding replacement on the front elevation. The building has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades over the past few years, including solar panel installation (2021), HVAC system improvements (2021), and water heater replacement (2023). Major renovation work occurred in 2019, converting space to add a new full bathroom on the first floor, along with electrical upgrades. The property has a documented history of compliance issues, most notably a 2010 complaint regarding unpermitted unit conversion and bathroom installation, which was resolved through demolition of unauthorized fixtures. In 2017, there was an incident involving unpermitted vinyl window installation, though these windows were later replaced with compliant units in 2017-2018.

The building's systems have been regularly maintained, with records showing proper sequencing of plumbing, electrical, and building permits related to various improvements. Notable historical improvements include kitchen and bathroom remodeling (2005), window replacements (2017), and major electrical rewiring work. Three building code violations were recorded in 2006 regarding backflow protection devices, and several complaints about bike lane blocking and graffiti were documented in 2020-2021, though these were external to the building itself and relate to public right-of-way issues. The property has undergone routine maintenance and upgrading of various systems, with all recent permits marked as completed, indicating proper adherence to building codes and regulations.

Risk rating

How 2844-2850 Cabrillo 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
96thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 90 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.

Building age

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.
