Rent & eviction protection

Is 2553-2555 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 before 1979
Built 1907
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH2
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 1907
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-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2553-2555 Bryant Street in the Inner Mission, built in 1907, has undergone significant renovations and safety improvements in recent years. The most substantial work occurred in 2019-2020, when the property underwent major renovations including vertical and horizontal additions to increase square footage, installation of a new 400-amp electrical service with three meters, and seismic strengthening with strongwalls and shearwalls at the front facade, costing approximately $635,000. A comprehensive fire sprinkler system was installed throughout the building in 2020-2022, including a new sprinkler monitoring system completed in mid-2022, demonstrating attention to fire safety.

The building's recent history has included some construction-related disputes with neighbors, particularly regarding unauthorized access to neighboring properties and water intrusion concerns during construction in late 2020. The property has also experienced several infrastructure upgrades, including radiant heating systems installation and complete plumbing system updates between 2020-2022. Historical maintenance issues from 2001, including dry rot and pest problems, were documented and resolved. More recently, between 2023-2024, there have been multiple tree-related maintenance issues reported through 311 calls, primarily concerning overgrown trees, damaged trees, and sidewalk impacts, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent building permits and maintenance activities suggest the property has received appropriate attention to both safety systems and basic infrastructure needs over the past several years.

Risk rating

How 2553-2555 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
68thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 762 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
