Rent & eviction protection

Is 2701 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 1906
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1906
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 2701 Bryant Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building with retail space, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Wong Ching Tai. The building has undergone several modifications over the years, with the most recent significant work occurring in 2016, including a partial kitchen remodel worth $10,000 and structural modifications to the second floor involving the installation of a beam and posts. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues, including a broken glass window pane in 2012 that required violation notices and a complaint about unfiltered dryer vents in the laundry facility in 2020. In 1997, the ground-floor space was converted from a grocery store to a laundromat with a $64,000 renovation.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges in the surrounding area, particularly regarding waste management, with multiple reports of overflowing garbage cans and debris between late 2024 and early 2025. The most recent building-related complaint was filed in December 2024 regarding illegal construction activities, though the specific nature of this complaint is not detailed in the records. While most past violations have been resolved, including the 2012 window issue, and the property has maintained an active maintenance schedule for basic improvements, the recent cluster of waste management complaints suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep in the immediate vicinity. The most recent building modifications on record occurred over seven years ago, with no major structural or systems upgrades documented in the past several years.

Risk rating

How 2701 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
16thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1999 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
