Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2779-2781 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 1922

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 1922
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 2779-2781 Bryant Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission district, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Roy Biren & Hiromi. The building underwent significant renovations in late 2013 following a physical inspection report (CC-7351), which included comprehensive kitchen remodeling in both units, restoration of the ground floor rear portion, repair of damaged stairs and guardrails, and electrical system upgrades including the installation of a new 125A service with two/three-meter panels. These improvements, totaling over $23,000, were successfully completed by early 2014.

More recent developments include the installation of a Level 2 EV charger in October 2023, demonstrating the property's modernization efforts. Historical records show a sewer repair was completed in 2009, and earlier maintenance included reroofing work in 1990. The building's condo conversion was approved in planning records, indicating it is formally recognized as a two-unit residential building. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property's vicinity between 2014 and 2024, these were primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues rather than building-specific concerns. A water service interruption due to non-payment was recorded in 2014, though this appears to be an isolated incident. The property has maintained active compliance with city regulations, as evidenced by the various permits obtained and completed over the years, with no recent complaints or violations on record that would impact resident safety or comfort.

Risk rating

How 2779-2781 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
63rdpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 881 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
