Rent & eviction protection

Is 2088-2092 Mission 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.

Annual rent increase cap

Just-cause eviction

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, 10-unit building at 2088-2092 Mission Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by T Lew Family LLC, has been standing since 1914. The property has a concerning safety record over the past seven years, with 25 fire incidents reported, though it is worth noting that all occurred prior to a significant safety upgrade in 2021. In 2021, a comprehensive voluntary fire alarm system replacement was completed, including the installation of new sounders, a Silent Knight fire alarm control unit, a new power supply, and an addressable manual pull station, bringing the building into compliance with SF Fire Code 2019 requirements for sprinkler-equipped buildings.

The building has generated a substantial number of 311 service requests over the past seven years, totaling 259 reports. Most recently, between June and July 2026, there has been a notable clustering of reports regarding garbage and debris, with six separate incidents involving either bagged garbage or overflowing city receptacles, though none of these cases were marked as offensive or hazardous. The building's life safety improvements in 2021 represent the only permitted work on record in the past seven years, with a reported construction cost of $21,974.

Risk rating

How 2088-2092 Mission 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 (ZIP code)
