Rent & eviction protection

Is 2000 20Th 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 1960
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1960
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 2000 20th Street in Potrero Hill is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by Kennedy Chan & Naomi Uyeda. The building has undergone several significant renovation projects over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring in 2010-2013. This period saw a major vertical addition project costing $576,000, along with electrical upgrades including a whole-house electrical remodel and 200-amp service installation, plumbing improvements including new furnaces and duct work, and fireplace installation. During this construction period, there were three building complaints filed in 2013-2014 regarding dust, possible asbestos, and safety practices, though these complaints are now listed as not active.

The building's history includes earlier renovation attempts in the early 2000s, with permits for interior alterations and conversion efforts between a two-family and single-family residence, though these permits expired. Previous improvements include bathroom remodeling and kitchen installation work completed in 1995, reroofing in 2007, and structural and termite repairs in 2010. Recent maintenance records from 311 calls (2017-2024) include various issues such as sidewalk defects, sewer vent cover problems, and instances of public property maintenance needs, though these are primarily related to street infrastructure rather than the building itself. The property has undergone several planning review processes, including a successful DU Merger from two units to one, which was approved under DR taken-Approved status.

Risk rating

How 2000 20Th 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
98thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 15 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
