Rent & eviction protection

Is 2630-2632 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 1949
2 or more units

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 1949
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 2630-2632 Great Highway, a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1949, has undergone significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over the past several years. In 2018-2019, the building experienced substantial maintenance challenges that prompted multiple violations, including pest infestations (cockroaches and rats), plumbing issues, mold and mildew problems, damaged windows, peeling paint, and various interior surface concerns. These violations were formally addressed and abated by June 2023, with the owners completing comprehensive renovations throughout 2022 that included bathroom conversions, kitchen remodels, window replacements, and exterior improvements such as re-stuccoing and re-siding work costing over $200,000. The building's mechanical systems were also upgraded in 2022 with the replacement of two furnaces, though prior electrical issues persisted with complaints about possible unit power sharing and electrical equipment deterioration being reported in late 2019.

Recent improvements include the completion of additional bathroom renovations and electrical panel upgrades in 2023, demonstrating ongoing investment in the building's maintenance. The property has undergone several inspections and interventions from various city departments, including Housing Inspection Services, Electrical Inspection Division, and Code Enforcement, particularly focusing on issues related to building safety, fire hazards, and general maintenance compliance. While most major violations have been resolved, historical records show attention was needed to address both interior and exterior building conditions, though recent permits indicate substantial improvements to the building's infrastructure and living conditions. The owners have also dealt with regulatory scrutiny regarding improper units and unauthorized work in 2019, though these issues appear to have been resolved through subsequent permitting processes.

Risk rating

How 2630-2632 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
55thpercentile
