Rent & eviction protection

Is 2576-2578 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 1890

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 1890
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 three-story multi-family residential building at 2576-2578 Folsom Street, owned by Green Hills View LLC, was constructed in 1890 and contains two units. The property has undergone significant renovations, with substantial work completed in 2016-2017 including an extensive $200,000 renovation project adding multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and recreational spaces across all floors. This work was accompanied by electrical rewiring, plumbing upgrades, and HVAC installations, though several permits from this period are marked as expired. There were notable construction-related issues in 2018, including unauthorized concrete work in the backyard, unsafe construction material disposal practices, and concerns about lead paint hazards, though these complaints were eventually abated.

The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with complaints filed in 2021-2022 reporting lack of heat, though inspections in 2022-2023 indicated these problems were resolved. Historical maintenance work includes foundation reinforcement in 2017 and various repairs to address water damage in 2004 and 2011. More recently, there are open fire violations as of June 2024 related to a change of use at the adjacent 2590-2598 Folsom Street address, though this is not directly linked to the main building's occupancy. The property has generated multiple street cleaning calls in 2024, primarily regarding abandoned items and debris on the sidewalk, which while not directly related to building conditions, may impact the immediate surroundings.

Risk rating

How 2576-2578 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.
