Rent & eviction protection

Is 2728 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 1963
2 or more units
12 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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.

Built 1963
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 12-unit apartment building at 2728 Judah Street in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood is a 3-story structure built in 1963 that is owned by R-d Properties Co. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over its lifetime, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (at a cost of $75,000) to improve seismic safety. Recent building history shows attention to plumbing and kitchen improvements, with two units (4 and 8) undergoing water damage repairs in 2015, including cabinet and countertop replacements, electrical repairs, and sink relocations. The property has faced maintenance challenges, particularly with windows and building systems, as evidenced by a 2020 complaint regarding air and moisture leakage through windows and doors, followed by multiple building violations related to weather proofing, fire safety systems, and window maintenance - all of which were abated by August 2021.

The building's historical maintenance record shows regular upkeep and addressing of structural issues, including roofing work completed in 1988 and 2008, and wood repairs in 1990-1991. Fire safety has been a recurring focus, with violations in 2019 and 2021 related to exit maintenance and extinguishers, though these were promptly corrected. The property has maintained its multi-family residential classification under the San Francisco Building Code, achieving tier 3 soft-story retrofit compliance. Regular inspections and repairs suggest active management, though the recurring nature of certain maintenance issues, particularly regarding windows and fire safety systems, indicates ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 2728 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
1stpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 806 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
