Rent & eviction protection

Is 2134-2136 Market 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.

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 1900
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-story multi-family residential building at 2134-2136 Market Street, owned by 2134 Market Street LLC, was built in 1900 and contains three units. The property's recent history shows several significant events, with the most concerning being a series of fire code violations in 2017 that included issues with electrical systems and exit maintenance, though these were subsequently corrected. In 2011, the property underwent notable changes including the installation of a new patio, front fence, and tool shed, as well as sewer line work, which followed an unpermitted construction complaint about an 8-foot fence related to the adjacent "Lucky 13" bar. Earlier building improvements included reroofing work completed in 1992.

The building has been the subject of various planning proposals, including a cancelled 2004 plan for a 28-unit building and more recently, an on-hold proposal that would merge three parcels into an 11,296 square foot site with a larger mixed-use development including 91 dwelling units and retail space. Historical records indicate routine apartment inspections over the years, with one active complaint from 1999 regarding unspecified issues. Recent activity outside the building has included multiple 311 calls for garbage, debris, and graffiti in late 2024, along with reports of encampments near the site, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2134-2136 Market 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
45th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 158 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.7%
Moderate concern 19.1%
Severe concern 27.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.

Violations, complaints, fire incidents, permits, and buyouts — most recent records in order.

2025
Planning Record Nov 12
This applicant seeks Conditional Use Authorization and participation in the Priority Processing Program to establish a Place of Entertainment Permit for a new bar/tavern at 2140 Market Street, located within the Upper Market Neighborhood Commercial Transit (NCT) District. The project continues the existing bar use at the site, maintaining the location’s historic role as a neighborhood gathering place. The proposed establishment will operate as a small, locally owned bar with indoor amplified sound in compliance with City regulations. No food service or outdoor sound is proposed at this time. The purpose of the project is to revitalize and reactivate an existing nightlife space in the Upper Market corridor, supporting the area’s economic and cultural activity while preserving its established character. The applicant will maintain existing occupancy limits (49) and hours of operation (Thurs 5pm-12am, Fri 5pm-2am, Saturday 4pm-2am, Sun 4pm-12am), provide security at the entrance, and follow standard operating policies to ensure safe and responsible management. This project aligns with the City’s goals for the NCT district by encouraging local small business activity in a transit-accessible corridor and contributing to the vitality of the neighborhood.
