Rent & eviction protection

Is 2213-2241 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 before 1979
Built 1909

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 1909
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 32-unit, three-story apartment building at 2213-2241 Market Street, built in 1909 and owned by Ralston Capital-sf Multifam, has undergone significant recent renovation and compliance work, including a major seismic retrofit completed in 2020 as a Tier 4 soft-story building. The most recent substantial work, filed in August 2023, involves splitting apartment 2237A into a separate unit and ADU, complete with new kitchen, laundry facilities, and electrical/plumbing work, though this permit is still listed as filed. Numerous improvements have been made to the building's systems and accessibility features in recent years, including a comprehensive fire alarm system retrofit initiated in December 2023, ADA accessibility upgrades, and commercial space modifications for a European Wax Center business.

The building has faced recurring fire safety inspection issues, with violations noted in 2023-2024 regarding sleeping area requirements, exits/storage pathways, and alarm system maintenance - all of which have been corrected except for the most recent sleeping area violation from November 2023. Historical records from 2006 show interior surface and lead hazard concerns that were subsequently resolved. The property has experienced periodic issues with vacant commercial storefronts between 2018-2020, and there have been multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding garbage and debris, though these were typically resolved promptly. Recent fire incidents (gas leak in 2023, false alarms) and several fire-related complaints have been documented, though most were either found to have no merit or were promptly corrected, including a significant September 2023 complaint regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems.

Risk rating

How 2213-2241 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
2ndpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1252 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.
