Outer Parkside, SF 94116 2449039 2 units · 2 fl · 1948

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2646-2648 Great Hwy 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 1948

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 1948
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 2646-2648 Great Highway is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1948, currently owned by the Survivors Trust O'neill Family. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent major renovation being filed in January 2025, which proposes converting open space on the first floor into a 180-square-foot bedroom with bathroom, remodeling a 135-square-foot kitchen on the second floor, updating a 57-square-foot bathroom on the second floor, and replacing existing water heaters with tankless units in the laundry area. The building's systems have seen considerable upgrades, including the replacement of two furnaces and extensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2012, which also included electrical work for lighting and ventilation improvements, new circuits, and the installation of recessed lighting throughout the upper level.

Prior improvements include structural reinforcement work in 2012 with the addition of anchor bolts and hold downs, window replacements in 1999, and plumbing updates including sewer line work in 2007. The building has maintained active compliance with housing regulations, with routine inspections such as the one conducted in 2002 showing no active violations. Exterior maintenance records from 2017-2019 show minor issues typical for the neighborhood, including graffiti removal, hazardous materials cleanup (glass), and a missing sewer vent cover, all of which were promptly addressed. The property's documented history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, with particular attention paid to safety features, as evidenced by the seismic reinforcement work and ongoing systems modernizations, including the recent proposals for energy-efficient tankless water heater installation.

Risk rating

How 2646-2648 Great Hwy'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
47thpercentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 110 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
