Rent & eviction protection

Is 2270-2272 Bryant 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.

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

2270-2272 Bryant Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 2270 Bryant LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including a mandatory Tier III seismic (soft-story) retrofit completed in 2016 (Cost: $80,000) and comprehensive fire safety improvements in 2008 that included the installation of sprinklers in various areas. Recent renovations show active maintenance of the property, with completed kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units A and B (2021 and 2023, respectively).

However, there are notable concerns regarding the building's maintenance history. A serious ongoing issue involves mold problems in the basement storage area, with a recent complaint filed in July 2023 describing persistent mold, potentially including black mold, that has damaged stored property since 2017. The building has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues in the past, particularly in 2000-2001 when violations were recorded for various problems including fire safety deficiencies (missing fire extinguishers, blocked egress), security concerns (windows locks, door quality), heating system failures, and plumbing issues. While most of these violations were abated by June 2000, they indicate a period of significant maintenance challenges. The building's recent history shows generally active management with completed improvements, though the persistent moisture and mold issues in the storage area as of 2023 stand out as a significant ongoing maintenance concern.

Risk rating

How 2270-2272 Bryant 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
