Rent & eviction protection

Is 2950-2952 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.

Built 1958

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 1958
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 2950-2952 Taraval Street, located in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1958, currently owned by Janet Ho Chan and Richy. The property's maintenance history shows some significant improvements made during the 1990s, including vinyl siding installation in 1991 and reroofing in 1992, as well as a completed basement remodeling project with bathroom installation in 1985. While these maintenance upgrades are noteworthy, it's important to note that the roofing permit from 1992 is now classified as expired.

In recent months, the property area has experienced a notable pattern of street cleaning and maintenance issues, particularly regarding garbage and debris. Between October 2024 and January 2025, there have been several documented incidents involving overflowing city garbage cans and loose garbage debris, with multiple cases being resolved through intervention by city services, particularly Recology and Public Works Street and Environmental Services. The building's immediate surroundings have also seen some transit-related concerns, including a damaged transit shelter platform (though this case was ultimately found to have no issues) and incidents of graffiti, for which maintenance actions were scheduled. The fire department records show two service calls to the property area, though neither resulted in civilian injuries, with one being classified as a hazardous condition and the other as a general service call.

Risk rating

How 2950-2952 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
83rdpercentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 35 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
