Rent & eviction protection

Is 2689-2699 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.

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 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2689-2699 Bryant Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by 2699 Bryant Grp LLC, was constructed in 1900 and is currently classified as a non-compliant Tier 3 property under the Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, with violations pending since July 2020. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past two decades, including a major seismic soft-story retrofit initiated in 2016 ($10,000 project cost) and various other structural work. This includes foundation repairs in 2011 ($12,000), multiple unit renovations between 2009-2010 featuring electrical upgrades, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and HVAC system installations. The property faced several serious building maintenance issues in the late 2000s, with multiple complaints regarding chipping paint, general disrepair, and illegal dumping that resulted in rat infestations and vandalism concerns, though these were subsequently addressed.

More recent history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance activities, including multiple building and plumbing permits in 2022, though the building remains under scrutiny for its soft-story retrofit non-compliance. The building has experienced some irregularities, including a 2019 complaint about unauthorized drilling work potentially impacting gas lines, though this was marked as not active. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned exterior maintenance issues, including garbage/debris concerns and tree maintenance requests, with some being marked as resolved while others remain open. The property also has a history of fire safety concerns, with two violations noted in March 2008 regarding blocked exits and stairway issues, though these were issued and subsequently closed. While the building's overall condition appears to have improved since the 2008-2009 period, the persistent soft-story compliance issue stands out as the most significant current concern from a regulatory and safety perspective.

Risk rating

How 2689-2699 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
9th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2166 are predicted to be safer.
