Rent & eviction protection

Is 2550 Sloat Blvd 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 1975
2 or more units
9 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1975
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 three-story multi-family residential building at 2550 Sloat Boulevard, owned by Giti D & Gerald L Knopoff R, was constructed in 1975 and contains 9 units. The property has undergone numerous telecommunications installations and upgrades over the past 13 years, with the most recent work in 2023-2024 involving Dish Wireless and AT&T modifications including antenna installations, equipment relocations, and electrical updates totaling significant investment amounts. A notable safety improvement was completed in 2018 with the building's mandatory soft-story retrofit, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The building has experienced several fire safety-related issues between 2016 and 2024, including multiple fire extinguisher maintenance citations, exit maintenance concerns, and fire escape issues, all of which were subsequently corrected. There were also three fire incidents recorded between 2018 and 2020, though none resulted in civilian injuries. A concerning tenant complaint was filed in March 2014 regarding a chemical smell in Unit 2, though there was no indication of mold or specific source identified. Historical violations from 2001 included issues with a fire escape and combustible storage in the garage, but these were resolved within a month. The most recent building permits and electrical work as of 2024 indicate active maintenance and upgrading of building systems, including a recent 600-amp main electrical service replacement.

Risk rating

How 2550 Sloat Blvd'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
7thpercentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 193 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
