Rent & eviction protection

Is 2401 15Th 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 1923

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 1923
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

2401 15th Street in Corona Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by 2401-2403 15th Street Apartments. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a comprehensive bathroom remodel in unit 2401 in 2015 ($15,000) that included new drains, fixtures, and tile work, as well as electrical upgrades with new lighting and fan installation. In 2016, the property received a new furnace and ductwork installation serving both units, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of essential systems.

The building's recent history shows some maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024, with multiple plumbing-related incidents including a sewage backup discharge from the side sewer vent and a water main issue in July. There were also occurrences of garbage and debris on the property, including a notable incident involving needles in September 2024. The property experienced some construction-related disruptions in February 2022, with complaints about blocked parking spaces and construction equipment, though these issues were ultimately resolved with compliance checks confirming no ongoing violations. Additional environmental concerns have been noted, with a damaged tree reported in June 2021 that remains open in the system. The building's earlier history includes roofing work from 1993, though records show this permit has expired. While the property has experienced various maintenance and environmental issues, it's worth noting that most recent permits have been properly completed, indicating attention to building improvements and compliance requirements.

Risk rating

How 2401 15Th 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 181 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.2%
Moderate concern 16.2%
Severe concern 11.6%
