Rent & eviction protection

Is 2612-2616 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
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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

This three-story, nine-unit multi-family residential building located at 2612-2616 Folsom St in the Inner Mission was built in 1900 and is currently owned by Eusebio & Bernarda Sanchez. The property has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the past decade, including multiple fire safety upgrades, structural repairs, and maintenance work. Most recently, in 2024, the building received fire alarm system upgrades to install low-frequency sounders for compliance with fire code requirements. The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly related to water damage and structural integrity, with multiple incidents of dry rot affecting stairs, siding, and walls being documented between 2015 and 2020. Notable complaints include water intrusion issues in 2015-2018, heating system failures in 2018-2020, and various maintenance violations in 2020.

The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations and alarm system issues recorded between 2021 and 2024. Recent fire violations from November 2023 and 2024 pertain to sleeping area requirements and test/maintenance documentation, respectively. The property has also undergone various infrastructure improvements, including reroofing projects in 2015, 2019, and 2020, as well as electrical system upgrades such as underground service conversion in 2004 and recent fire alarm system improvements in 2024. While many historical violations have been resolved, several active complaints from 2015-2018 related to unit conditions (including issues in Unit 7) remain on record, and the building's maintenance history shows pattern of recurring structural and systems-related challenges that have required ongoing attention from ownership.

Risk rating

How 2612-2616 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
12thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2094 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
