Rent & eviction protection

Is 2337-2339 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 1912
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 2337-2339 Market Street property is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, containing 13 units and currently owned by 2339 Market I7 LP. The building has undergone significant improvements and faced several maintenance challenges over the past few years. Most recently, in 2024, the property has been the subject of multiple fire safety upgrades, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and the modification of sleeping area requirements, though this latter work resulted in an electrical violation. A new accessible restroom is currently being added to the restaurant, and there have been two recent water heater installations completed in early 2024. The building has also completed necessary ADA compliance work, including a power door operator installation and slope adjustments.

The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including multiple unit renovations (Units 10, 28, 34, and 38) between 2016-2022 involving kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and the installation of washer/dryer units. Notable historical violations from 2001 concerning interior surfaces, lighting, and fire safety were all abated by 2011. More recent complaints include a 2024 issue regarding unauthorized plumbing work in the laundry room, a March 2023 complaint about a vacant commercial space, and several maintenance matters in 2015-2016 involving heating systems and facade stability. The building's fire safety systems have undergone regular inspections and updates, with violations in 2024 being promptly addressed. The property has completed its Soft Story retrofit requirements as a Tier 4 building, demonstrating compliance with current seismic safety standards.

Risk rating

How 2337-2339 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.
