Rent & eviction protection

Is 2087-2089 10Th Ave 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 1947

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 1947
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 property at 2087-2089 10th Avenue in Golden Gate Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1947 and currently owned by John Peter Alexan McPherson. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with significant work including a $9,800 reroofing project completed in 2022 and bathroom renovations in 2020 that involved replacing a shower and sink, along with associated plumbing work totaling $17,575. The electrical system received an upgrade in 2003 with an underground service conversion and 125-amp main service improvement, including installation of two meters, suggesting sufficient attention to modernization and infrastructure maintenance.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking between December 2024 and January 2025, though most complaints could not be validated, except for one where a citation was issued. There is also an open report regarding a curb or ramp defect from December 2024 that requires attention. The building's documented history shows adherence to safety regulations, with no current fire violations or safety citations on record, and previous fire violations from 2006 (related to combustible waste) were properly addressed and closed. The property's permit history indicates regular maintenance and updates, including historical reroofing work completed in 1989, and a street space permit issued in 2010.

Risk rating

How 2087-2089 10Th Ave'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
93rdpercentile

Out of 32 buildings in this neighborhood, 2 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
