Rent & eviction protection

Is 2852-2856 22Nd 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
4 units
Property type

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 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 2852-2856 22nd Street in the Inner Mission, built in 1900 and currently owned by Robert M Olexo, has undergone significant renovations and faced some challenges in recent years. Most notably, the property experienced serious plumbing issues in late 2022, with flooding incidents in November of that year affecting basement units, though these complaints are now inactive. To address various maintenance and improvement needs, multiple permits have been issued or completed since 2019, including the installation of a solar system (2019), reroofing (2019), comprehensive kitchen remodels with electric induction cooktops (2023), and the recent issuance of permits in late 2024 for stucco replacement and window upgrades on the south facade.

The building has also undergone important structural improvements, including plumbing work to accommodate a new slab and the installation of electric heat pump water heaters in all units (2023). Recent permits from January 2024 indicate significant foundation work and partial seismic strengthening efforts. The property has maintained compliance with safety regulations, though there were some violations in 2006 related to unauthorized remodeling work that were subsequently abated. Recent infrastructure upgrades include an electrical service upgrade to 200 amps (2023) and various maintenance needs being addressed as they arise, as evidenced by 311 calls for issues such as sidewalk damage from tree roots and sewer vent maintenance. The building's history shows a proactive approach to modernization and maintenance, with particular attention paid to energy efficiency and seismic safety upgrades.

Risk rating

How 2852-2856 22Nd 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
50thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1190 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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