Rent & eviction protection

Is 2926-2930 25Th 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 1904
2 or more units

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 1904
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 6-unit multi-family residential building at 2926 25th Street, built in 1904 and currently owned by Clear Homes LLC, has undergone significant recent improvements and faced several challenges in recent years. Most notably, the building has received substantial renovations throughout 2023, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in all units, partial seismic upgrades, and additional bathroom installations, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed. However, there have been persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding water heaters and mold. In June 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding water heater installations in units 2926, 2928, and 2930, and earlier that year, units 2926 and 2928 reported problems with mold, weatherproofing, and general maintenance. The building has also been the subject of multiple housing complaints between 2019-2023, including issues with windows, plumbing fixtures, security features, and interior surfaces, though most of these violations were abated by March 2020. More recent complaints have focused on construction practices, including reports of unpermitted work and safety concerns in unit 2930 in May 2023, which remains an active case.

Looking forward, the property has filed for new construction of a wood-framed rear deck spanning three stories, with permits filed in August 2024. The building has also undergone significant structural improvements, including a basement lateral upgrade in 2021 to comply with seismic standards, though an earlier attempt to create additional ADUs in 2021 was withdrawn. Historical data shows previous maintenance and violation issues, including electrical problems, plumbing leaks, and various housing code violations, though most of these have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 2926-2930 25Th 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
1stpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2356 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building size
