Rent & eviction protection

Is 2195-2199 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.

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.

15+ years since occupancy
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 building at 2195-2199 Market Street is a three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential property constructed in 1906, currently owned by Cardamum Properties LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with its commercial spaces, particularly regarding unpermitted modifications and vacant storefronts. Most notably, there have been multiple violations and complaints between 2022 and 2023 concerning an unauthorized awning installation, which was eventually legalized in 2023 after proper permitting. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including electrical updates in 2012 (new lights, switches, outlets, and baseboard heaters), plumbing renovations (new toilet and sinks), and structural repairs such as the replacement of two back stair posts and rotted wood in 2017.

The property has a history of elevator-related incidents, with a significant complaint about non-functioning elevators in March 2018 that was promptly resolved. The building's fire safety systems have experienced occasional malfunctions, including alarm system issues in 2008, but no significant fire incidents have been recorded. Recent activity around the property primarily involves routine municipal service calls for garbage collection and debris removal, with multiple reports in January 2025 regarding abandoned items and overflowing city garbage cans, though these are not uncommon for urban areas. The building's commercial space has faced several periods of vacancy, with multiple complaints filed between 2020 and 2023 regarding unregistered commercial use and storefront emptiness, though most recent commercial activity appears to be properly permitted as of 2023.

Risk rating

How 2195-2199 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

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
4thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1227 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
