Rent & eviction protection

Is 2311-2315 Balboa 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 1954

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 1954
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 2311-2315 Balboa Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Pacific Holding LLC, underwent significant renovations and improvements in 2017-2018. The most substantial work included a comprehensive vertical addition project completed in late 2017 that added a third story with a roof deck, plus extensive interior remodels including kitchen and bath renovations. This project included the installation of new fire safety systems, with a complete fire sprinkler system installed per NFPA 13R standards ($14,500) followed by a sprinkler monitoring system ($5,000) in 2018. The building's infrastructure improvements also encompassed the installation of hydronic heating across all three floors and two new water heaters.

The property has experienced some recent challenges in 2023-2024, primarily related to parking enforcement matters, with several illegal parking incidents reported and two citations issued in July 2024. There have also been multiple 311 calls regarding encampment reports near the property, though these were generally resolved through the appropriate city services. The building underwent significant internal improvements as evidenced by the 2017 tenant buyout of $38,504 for two tenants, suggesting substantial unit upgrades were planned, which were subsequently carried out through various permits including major kitchen and bathroom renovations, installation of new appliances, and comprehensive electrical system updates.

Risk rating

How 2311-2315 Balboa 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
98thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 45 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
