Rent & eviction protection

Is 2619-2629 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.

Built 1904
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 2619-2629 Mission Street, completed in 1904 and comprising 38 units, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements under its current ownership (2619 Mission I2 LLC). Most notably, there are ongoing efforts to add 8 new dwelling units in the basement and first levels, with associated infrastructure improvements including a new laundry room, bike room, and trash room. Recent individual unit upgrades have been completed, including kitchen and bathroom rehabilitations with washer/dryer installations in Units 3 and 27. The property has also seen important safety and accessibility improvements, including compliance with the Accessible Business Entrance Program in 2022 and completion of a voluntary fire alarm system upgrade in 2019.

Despite these substantial investments, the building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. There have been multiple fire code violations documented between 2020-2024, including problems with alarm systems, standpipe systems, and sleeping area requirements. A notable infestation incident was reported in October 2022 involving Unit 27, which was described as uninhabitable with significant sanitary concerns affecting neighboring units. The property has also faced maintenance challenges, including drainage issues in late 2021 related to rainwater downspouts that affected the sidewalk and neighboring business access. Recently filed permits indicate ongoing improvements, including a completed $83,000 renovation in Unit 3 as of September 2023, suggesting continued investment in the property’s maintenance and upgrading. The building has successfully completed its soft-story retrofit requirements under Tier IV, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 2619-2629 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.
