Rent & eviction protection

Is 2720-2722 Taraval 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.

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 1950
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 2720-2722 Taraval Street, owned by the Siu/Wan Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1950 in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably in 2008 when a substantial interior remodel was completed at a cost of $54,900, adding two bedrooms and a full bathroom on the ground floor, along with window and structural modifications. This renovation was accompanied by corresponding plumbing and electrical work. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with roofing work performed in 1996 and again in 2013, and a major electrical service upgrade completed in 2005 including conversion to underground service and installation of a new 125A main service. One notable incident occurred in 2016 when a complaint was filed regarding unpermitted construction work on the second level, though this case is now listed as not active.

More recently, the property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris management in the vicinity, particularly during late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple reports of overflowing garbage cans and other waste issues, including instances of human waste or urine on the street. These street cleaning matters have all been closed as resolved, with various agencies including Recology and Public Works addressing the situations. Additionally, there was one recorded incident involving smoke detector activation with no fire or injuries, though no specific date is listed for this event. The building's permit and violation history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, with no major violations or safety concerns documented in recent years apart from the 2016 construction complaint.

Risk rating

How 2720-2722 Taraval 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
93rdpercentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 14 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
