Rent & eviction protection

Is 2478 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.

Built 1914

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.

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 2478 Bryant Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Wong Kwok Bing&yuk Shui Rev and constructed in 1914. The building's maintenance history includes a roofing project permitted in 1997 and a completed sewer replacement in 2019, which represents the most recent major infrastructure work. Of particular concern is a safety incident reported in October 2022, where construction activity involving unsecured materials posed potential risks to the public, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. A historical housing inspection in February 1997 regarding an alleged illegal unit was resolved within two weeks.

The property has been the subject of various parking-related issues in recent years, particularly between 2022-2024, including multiple reports of illegal parking, double parking, and abandoned vehicles, with several cases resulting in citations or resolutions. The most recent incidents, occurring in 2024, involved complaints about vehicles blocking driveways and an abandoned SUV, though enforcement officials were unable to locate the vehicles in these instances. Additional non-building-related complaints include reports of graffiti (June 2023), a damaged tree (September 2022), and a park patrol request (September 2022). While the parking-related issues are notable, they primarily affect the street environment rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2478 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

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
18thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1952 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
