Rent & eviction protection

Is 227 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 1910

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

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 1910
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 227 Connecticut Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Terence O. Meurk and Abigail P. Meurk, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910. The property underwent significant renovations in 2001-2002 when the units were merged into a single residence, including adding a new kitchen, family room, bathroom, and bedroom across both floors, with accompanying electrical work comprising extensive installations of plugs, lights, and switches. Earlier structural and maintenance work included termite damage repair in 1986, bathroom renovations and code compliance updates in 2000, and historical records show earlier attempts at structural upgrades from 1998 and stair replacement efforts in 1984.

The most pressing current concern is a pattern of sewage discharge incidents from the side sewer vent, with four documented cases in 2024 (July, October, and two in June) and one in early 2025, suggesting an ongoing plumbing infrastructure issue. The building has also faced some exterior maintenance challenges, including sidewalk parking violations in 2024 (resulting in citations) and a defaced sign in 2023. A lifted sidewalk issue was reported and resolved in 2022, and there was an abandoned refrigerator removal case in October 2024. The property's permit history demonstrates regular maintenance and upgrades, with the most significant work occurring between 2000 and 2002, involving multiple permits for both construction and electrical work totaling approximately $100,000, while earlier records show attention to basic maintenance needs through the decades.

Risk rating

How 227 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
78thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 160 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
