Rent & eviction protection

Is 2967 26Th 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 2967 26th Street in the Inner Mission is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Claudia Alice Colin Living Trust. The building has a notable history of permit compliance issues, with an active complaint filed in November 2000 regarding unauthorized bathroom remodeling, public nuisance, and unsafe water heater installations that remain unresolved to this day. This period also saw multiple complaints and citations for work conducted without proper permits. More recently, in 2011, there was a complaint about improper paint removal procedures affecting neighboring properties, which remained unresolved for approximately 16 months before being marked as not active in 2013.

The property has been relatively stable in terms of major building improvements since the early 2000s, with only one permitted improvement on record: a bathroom wainscoting and tile floor installation completed in 2000 at a cost of $1,200. A gas houseline extension was permitted in May 2009. In 2024, there has been considerable activity regarding parking enforcement, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking violations, indicating an ongoing issue with parking management in the vicinity. The most recent building-related incident, from January 2025, involved the removal of an abandoned mattress. The most concerning ongoing issue is the active building violation from 2000 regarding unpermitted work and unsafe conditions, which, despite multiple citations and complaint filings, appears to remain unresolved as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 2967 26Th 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
