Rent & eviction protection

Is 250 Eureka 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 1906

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.

Built 1906
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 250 Eureka Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1906 and currently owned by the Singley Revocable Trust, this flats/duplex style building has undergone several notable maintenance activities over its history, with the most significant being a reroofing project completed in 1995. Two building permits from 1981 are on record, though one of them expired without completion. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in recent years, with seven documented incidents between January and June 2024 alone, including multiple cases of driveway blocking and illegal parking. There have also been three fire complaints regarding combustible materials recorded in late 2016 and early 2017, though all were investigated and determined to have "no merit." In terms of recent administrative activity, a Rent Board service request was logged in January 2024 regarding fee housing inventory, with confirmation that the property contains two units and clarification about owner occupancy status.

The building's recent history has been primarily marked by parking-related incidents, with October 2024 alone seeing three separate complaints about parking violations. While the fire complaints from 2016-2017 raised some concerns about safety, it's important to note that each of these complaints was thoroughly investigated and dismissed. The most recent building permit activity appears to date back to 1995, suggesting there may have been limited formal improvements or modifications to the structure in the past three decades.

Risk rating

How 250 Eureka 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

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
68thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 409 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
