Rent & eviction protection

Is 268-270 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 1905

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 1905
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 268-270 Eureka Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Sharons Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced some maintenance challenges over the past decade. Most recently, in October 2023, a new deck construction project was filed with an estimated cost of $25,000, and in January 2022, both bathroom and corresponding electrical work was completed, valued at $15,000. The building's infrastructure has seen regular updates to essential systems, including three water heater replacements between 2016 and 2021, and a substantial electrical upgrade in 2005 that included 100-amp service with multiple new circuits and a garage door installation.

A notable complaint from September 2012 regarding gas stove safety, inadequate heating, and concerns about a rotting deck was filed with Housing Inspection Services, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." The property has experienced various community-related incidents in the surrounding area throughout 2023-2024, primarily involving parking enforcement issues and occasional encampment reports, which are not unusual for the neighborhood. Recent municipal service requests have included concerns about an overgrown tree (open as of October 2024) and various general service needs that have been resolved or transferred through DPW. A recorded fire alarm activation was documented, but no fire or injuries were involved. The building's maintenance history, particularly with regular water heater replacements and recent deck improvements, suggests ongoing upkeep of essential systems, though the 2012 housing complaint highlights historical maintenance concerns that prospective tenants may find worth noting.

Risk rating

How 268-270 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
97thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 38 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

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.
