Rent & eviction protection

Is 2240 Judah 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 1945
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
NC1
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 1945
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 at 2240 Judah Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Sanotsky Vera, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1945. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, with major work completed in 2022 including comprehensive remodeling of both units, installation of new bathrooms, removal of non-load-bearing walls between living room/kitchen areas, and creation of new bedrooms in both units. This renovation project, valued at $82,313, was accompanied by the replacement of two furnaces and complete plumbing and electrical work for two bathrooms and two kitchens, all of which were properly permitted and completed.

The building has experienced some maintenance issues requiring attention, including dry rot repair of a second-floor deck landing in 2020 (approximately 4x8 feet). There were two notable complaints filed with the Building Inspection Division: one in July 2020 regarding unauthorized structural work and deck removal beyond the permitted scope, and another in November 2022 concerning wall removal that allegedly caused a rat infestation, though both complaints were marked as "Not Active." The property has had proper maintenance work completed, including a window replacement project in 2020 (replacing four windows with aluminum counterparts) and deck repairs, demonstrating ongoing upkeep of the building's infrastructure. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved three maintenance issues: two illegal parking incidents with vehicles blocking driveways in May 2024, and one case of loose garbage that was cleaned up in the same month.

Risk rating

How 2240 Judah 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
17thpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 676 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
