Rent & eviction protection

Is 2731 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 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.

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 property at 2731 23rd Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and classified as a Flats & Duplex building. The building has a significant history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly in recent years. Most notably, there were serious habitability concerns in 2019, including mold/mildew, floor covering problems, and general dilapidation, which were not fully resolved until November 2024. Earlier violations included illegal construction of a roof deck in 2009-2012, heating system deficiencies in 2008, and electrical work done without permits. The building has undergone several permitted improvements, including a reroofing project in 2014, installation of a new heating system in 2008, and various structural modifications between 2011-2012 to address code violations.

Recent maintenance issues have persisted, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk defects, fallen trees, and multiple instances of vehicles blocking driveways. The property has shown recurring problems with building maintenance and habitability, with past complaints documenting issues such as mold, inadequate heating, and improper maintenance of interior surfaces. These violations have generally been addressed through various building permits and inspections, though the resolution of recent complaints has often taken considerable time. The most recent planning record indicates an approved referral related to ExteNet services in 2018. The building's history suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance and code compliance, though many of the most pressing recent violations have finally been resolved as of late 2024.

Risk rating

How 2731 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
24thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1809 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
