Rent & eviction protection

Is 2286-2288 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 before 1979
Built 1910

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 1910
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, three-story multi-family residential building at 2286-2288 15th Street in the Duboce Triangle, owned by Gregory Judson, has undergone several significant improvements since 2020. Most notably, a substantial preservation project is currently underway (October 2024) involving removal of aluminum siding, replacement of eleven street-facing windows, and painting of the existing wood siding, with an estimated cost of $45,000. The building has seen consistent upgrades across all units, including a complete remodel of unit 2286A in 2023 (kitchen and bathroom renovations, window replacement, and electrical/plumbing updates totaling $70,000), voluntary seismic strengthening in 2020 ($80,000), and various infrastructure improvements such as sewer lateral replacement (2023), radiant heat system installation (2020), and comprehensive rewiring with service upgrades to 200 amps (2020).

The property has maintained compliance with safety regulations, though it experienced violations in 2002 and 2016 related to fire safety equipment and smoke detectors, all of which were promptly resolved. Historical records from routine housing inspections in 1994-2016 indicate past concerns about illegal units and various fire safety issues, but these have all been addressed and closed. Recent documentation shows active management of the building's maintenance and safety systems, with no current violations or complaints on record. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls between 2022-2024, though these are external to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 2286-2288 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

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
93rdpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 20 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
