Rent & eviction protection

Is 250-252 Roosevelt Way 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 1920
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 1920
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-unit residential building at 250-252 Roosevelt Way in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, owned by Andrew J Pellman & Mark D K, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1920. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced some maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, in April 2022, both units 250 and 252 experienced water damage requiring remediation work on drywall, floor coverings, and cabinets, particularly affecting unit 252, with associated costs of $5,000. More recent issues include lifted sidewalks due to tree roots, with reports in April and September 2024 that remain open and are being managed by city agencies. The building has undergone regular maintenance and improvements, including a roof replacement project in 2018 worth $15,000, installation of LED lighting and outlets in 2018, and a significant electrical upgrade in 2010 that included kitchen remodeling and circuit breaker panel replacement. A proposed third-story addition to the rear two-story portion of the building was submitted in 2013, planning to add 735 square feet and a roof deck to Unit #3, though this permit was ultimately cancelled.

The property has maintained compliance with housing standards, undergoing routine inspections in 2002 and 2009, with no active violations on record. Several infrastructure improvements have been completed, including plumbing upgrades in 2010 and various electrical improvements between 2006 and 2018. Recent activity in 2024 has primarily involved street-level concerns, including parking violations and sidewalk maintenance issues, with multiple reports of waste that were generally resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing both routine upkeep and occasional significant repairs, with no recurring safety concerns or major violations on record.

Risk rating

How 250-252 Roosevelt Way'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
45thpercentile

Out of 351 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
