Rent & eviction protection

Is 2204-2206 23Rd 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

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 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 property at 2204-2206 23rd Street in Potrero Hill is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Evan Shapiro. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring in 2013-2014, including a major $125,000 project to replace interior stairs, reconfigure the second floor layout, and replace roof framing in the living room area. This was followed by various infrastructure improvements such as retaining wall repairs ($80,000), new water heaters, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and electrical upgrades throughout the unit. More recent work includes a roof replacement completed in 2022 costing $23,425, though this project generated some controversy when roofing workers allegedly used the neighboring property's roof without permission, leading to complaints that were subsequently resolved.

The building has experienced multiple fire safety inspections and violations, with the most recent being a sleeping area requirement violation issued in December 2023 that remains open as of October 2023. Throughout its history, the property has had three documented cases of blocked exits (most recently in 2022 with no merit found), several false alarm incidents, and some past heating and plumbing issues from the late 1990s that have since been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, including plumbing upgrades such as a new sewer main installation and comprehensive rewiring of multiple rooms. The property has also had recent attention from city services regarding sidewalk and pavement conditions, with multiple reports of defects filed in 2023 that are still open as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 2204-2206 23Rd 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 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 595 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
