Rent & eviction protection

Is 2546-2548 Folsom 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 1900

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 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 two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2546-2548 Folsom Street in the Inner Mission, owned by the Sakellis Family Trust, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in 2019, substantial improvements were made including a $90,000 renovation of the kitchen, living room, and dining room, accompanied by electrical upgrades and new plumbing. The building features several completed bathroom and utility enhancements, including a master bathroom renovation in 2016 ($16,000), the addition of a laundry closet in 2014, and crucial safety improvements in 2015 that included reducing the rear deck size and adding a second means of egress. Notably, the property experienced a significant incident in 2004 when fire damage required replacement of floor joists between the garage and living areas, along with the addition of two water closets, costing $150,000 to repair.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including electrical service upgrades, new receptacles, and plumbing improvements such as a house trap repair in 2013. The property has faced some external challenges, including multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations near the property between 2018 and 2024 (with recent calls in 2024 specifically about driveway blocking issues), as well as occasional graffiti incidents in 2021, though these were promptly addressed. The building's infrastructure improvements and renovations demonstrate ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with no recorded planning code complaints or building violations.

Risk rating

How 2546-2548 Folsom 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
86thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 333 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
