Rent & eviction protection

Is 288-290 Missouri 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
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH3
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

The two-unit residential building at 288-290 Missouri Street in Potrero Hill is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by the Edmond J Scola Family Trust. The property's permitted modifications include a completed horizontal rear addition in 1993, while an earlier addition proposed in 1992 expired. The most recent significant maintenance activity was the replacement of a 40-gallon water heater in January 2023, although this permit has since expired.

The building's surroundings have experienced recurring urban cleanliness challenges, particularly during the 2018-2021 period, with multiple reports of human or animal waste on nearby streets and sidewalks, two incidents of loose garbage (2020), and one instance of hazardous glass materials (2016). A notable infrastructure concern is an open case from November 2021 regarding a collapsed sidewalk. Additional reports include a defaced parking sign (2022), a sidewalk parking incident involving a Tesla (2021), and a street cleaning request in 2014 related to water services, which was transferred to the Paving department. While many of these issues have been resolved, the patterns suggest ongoing maintenance and cleanliness challenges in the immediate area around the building.

Risk rating

How 288-290 Missouri 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
69thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 225 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.
