Rent & eviction protection

Is 2150-2152 3Rd 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

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 property at 2150-2152 3rd Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building with commercial space, containing two units and constructed in 1900. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the past decades. A major renovation occurred in 2008-2011, involving comprehensive updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, windows, heating system, electrical, and plumbing, though this work was initially completed without proper permits, leading to violation notices and abatement proceedings that were eventually resolved by August 2013. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple violations between 2022-2024 related to alarm systems, hazardous materials, and sleeping area requirements. Recent permits indicate some external improvements, including a brick façade installation in 2017, though a proposed coffee counter project in 2021 was withdrawn.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, including broken windows and rotting siding repairs in 2017, and historical issues such as fire damage repairs from 1984 and dry rot work in 1985. There have been multiple fire alarm activations and system malfunctions recorded between 2022 and 2024, though no civilian injuries were reported in any of these incidents. Recent complaints suggest ongoing concerns with building systems and compliance, as evidenced by multiple fire code violation notices throughout 2023-2024. The building's maintenance history shows considerable investment in improvements over time, but also a pattern of delayed compliance with safety requirements, with several recent violations still marked as "open" or requiring further corrective action.

Risk rating

How 2150-2152 3Rd 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
87thpercentile

Out of 74 buildings in this neighborhood, 10 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.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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