Rent & eviction protection

Is 2782-2786 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

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 6-unit building at 2782-2786 Folsom Street, owned by SF Mission Tierra LLC, has undergone numerous renovations and faced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with the fire safety systems, including recent complaints in January 2025 about repeated fire alarm activations and a May 2024 violation regarding required smoke alarms. The property has also experienced multiple maintenance challenges, as evidenced by active complaints in 2024 about damaged walls, broken windows, and ongoing issues with heat and debris in hallways. New improvements are currently being implemented, including fire safety upgrades in 2024 valued at over $24,000 and the installation of high-efficiency heaters. The building underwent substantial work between 2018-2022, including the creation of two new ADUs in the basement, complete remodels of units 2, 5, and 6, and major electrical and plumbing updates throughout. Historical records show that a major expansion project to increase unit count from 6 to 10 was proposed in 2014 but ultimately cancelled. The property has a documented history of building violations from 2001 related to security, plumbing, and interior surfaces, though these were all abated by August 2001. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned parking issues and sidewalk maintenance, while recent planning records indicate efforts to maintain and upgrade the building, including window replacement with energy-efficient models.

Risk rating

How 2782-2786 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
2ndpercentile
