Inner Mission, SF 94110 4089023 2 units · 3 fl · 1904

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2622-2624 21St 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.

Built 1904
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 three-story multi-family residential building at 2622-2624 21st Street, owned by the Shaw-rauch Family Living Trust, is a historic property built between 1895 and 1904, consisting of two dwellings on one parcel. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably in 2014-2015, when extensive renovations were completed including kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, and the addition of new bathrooms on the second floor. The property received substantial mechanical upgrades during this period, including the installation of new boilers with radiant heating systems in both the front building and rear cottage, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed through multiple permits. The front stairs were reinforced in 2014, and street-facing windows were replaced in kind.

Recent history shows regular maintenance and addressing of infrastructure needs, with the most substantial work occurring between 2014-2015. Since then, there have been no major building permits filed, suggesting either completion of necessary work or potential stabilization of the property's systems. The building's location has experienced recurring issues with driveway access, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls between 2019-2024, though these are typical for urban locations and do not reflect on the building's condition. Several 311 calls relating to the immediate vicinity have been recorded, primarily regarding street cleanliness and tree maintenance, though these are external to the building itself. The property had a recent informational planning meeting regarding a proposed garage addition, indicating continued interest in improving the property's functionality while maintaining historical character.

Risk rating

How 2622-2624 21St 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
42ndpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1380 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
