Rent & eviction protection

Is 2227 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 1949
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1949
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 2227 Judah Street, located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, was constructed in 1949 and features a two-story flat and store configuration. The property has a significant history of unauthorized unit conversions and safety violations. Most notably, in December 2001, a serious complaint was filed detailing hazardous conditions in an unauthorized third unit within the ground floor commercial space, including lack of emergency exits, inadequate fire safety measures, non-compliant electrical and plumbing installations, and poor ventilation. This situation prompted a formal notice of violation that was notated as abated by May 2002, coinciding with the issuance of a permit to restore the ground floor to its original commercial space configuration at a cost of $2,500.

More recently, in July 2013, another complaint was filed regarding an illegal unit with multiple families residing in individual rooms, along with concerns about an unpermitted water heater installation and mold. The property has also experienced some infrastructure issues in recent years, with an open case as of September 2023 regarding a collapsed sidewalk, and a resolved case from November 2019 concerning a missing side sewer vent cover that was replaced. The building's history suggests ongoing challenges with unauthorized unit modifications and code compliance, though many of the original violations appear to have been addressed through permits and inspections.

Risk rating

How 2227 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
