Rent & eviction protection

Is 2427-2429 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 1927
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 1927
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 residential building located at 2427-2429 Cabrillo Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1927, currently owned by Lin Li Li. The property has undergone several notable improvements over the past few years, with the most significant renovation occurring in mid-2019 when comprehensive updates were made to the top unit's kitchen and bathroom, including electrical system upgrades and window replacements at a cost of $50,000. This renovation project was completed successfully, including associated plumbing and electrical work that involved installing new appliances and smoke detectors. Prior to this, in April 2017, the second floor unit received lighting enhancements and bathroom sink replacement.

The building's maintenance record shows historical attention to basic infrastructure, with a roofing project documented in 1991, though this permit has since expired. The most recent incident on record was a hazardous materials report in January 2022 regarding glass on the street that was promptly addressed by DPW operations, though this was related to street maintenance rather than building conditions. The property appears to be well-maintained, with no recorded complaints or violations that would indicate safety concerns or significantly impact resident comfort. The documented improvements suggest proactive upkeep of both units, focusing on modernizing facilities and systems while maintaining the building's original character.

Risk rating

How 2427-2429 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
95thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 112 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

What's driving this score
