Rent & eviction protection

Is 239-241 Connecticut 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 1906

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 1906
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 residential building at 239-241 Connecticut Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Logan Hanks, is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1906. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, with major renovation work completed in late 2023 valued at $100,000 that included rear facade and interior upgrades, mechanical/electrical improvements, and the installation of radiant floor heating for unit 241. This was followed by multiple revisions and additional work in 2024, including changes to deck footprint, structural modifications, and plumbing updates, with associated costs totaling approximately $19,000.

The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades over the years, including a completed vertical addition in 2015 that converted the attic into usable space, comprising 690 square feet of new bedroom/living room areas and a bathroom, with associated costs of $150,000. Notably, the property has experienced recurring sewer issues, with eight documented sewage backup incidents between 2012 and 2020, primarily involving 4-inch vent line problems, though all were resolved through appropriate interventions. More recent improvements include the installation of a heating system (May 2024), shower pan installation (July 2024), and various electrical upgrades including a garden shed renovation (September 2024) and kitchen/bathroom remodels (May 2024). The building's infrastructure has been actively maintained, with permits showing recent attention to plumbing, electrical systems, and structural elements, indicating ongoing investment in the property's upkeep and modernization.

Risk rating

How 239-241 Connecticut 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
97thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 22 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
