Rent & eviction protection

Is 2391-2399 16Th 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 1936

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.

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 four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2391-2399 16th Avenue in the Inner Parkside neighborhood, owned by Shapleton LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple violations in 2023-2024 related to plumbing, stairs, and mold/mildew, with the building experiencing flooding and sewer problems that required both repairs to the sewer lateral (completed February 2024) and rear stair repairs (ongoing as of December 2024). A comprehensive Notice of Violation was issued in April 2023 detailing multiple issues including plumbing problems with sinks, a shower repair requirement, stair repairs, window maintenance, and the need for carbon monoxide and smoke alarm documentation, all of which were reported as abated by March 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure issues, with recent work including stair repairs and a sewer lateral replacement. Historical records indicate recurring roofing work, with permits showing reroofing projects completed in 1992, 1994, and 2017. Notably, there have been two recorded gas-related incidents (a leak and overpressure event) with no civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily concern parking issues near the property, though these external matters are separate from building maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 2391-2399 16Th 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
13thpercentile

Out of 121 buildings in this neighborhood, 105 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
