Rent & eviction protection

Is 2475-2477 San Bruno Ave 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 1907

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 1907
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 three-story multi-family residential building at 2475-2477 San Bruno Ave, constructed in 1907 and consisting of 3 units plus retail space, has experienced several significant events over recent years that merit attention. Most notably, the property is currently dealing with multiple active complaints from May 2023 regarding a vacant commercial space, which was last observed in May 2023 and is still listed as active in October 2023. The building faced substantial housing code violations in May 2017, including issues with damaged ceilings, lack of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, security concerns with doors, window repairs needed, plumbing issues, interior surface damage, and inadequate heating systems - all of which were abated by June 2017. In 2020, there were concerns about a deteriorating back deck, which prompted repair work including deck and siding modifications. The building has undergone various maintenance work over the years, including electrical system upgrades in 2003 with installation of new panels, and historical issues such as unauthorized awning installations in 2004 which required correction.

Recent months have shown persistent issues with waste management in the vicinity of the building, with multiple 311 calls between June 2024 and January 2025 regarding garbage, debris, and other sanitation concerns. While there have been several completed permits for repairs and improvements, including deck repairs in 2020 and roofing work in 2011, the property continues to exhibit some maintenance challenges. The building's systems and structures have received attention over the years, with particular focus needed on the commercial portion of the building which has shown vacancy concerns and associated maintenance issues in recent inspections. A minor cooking-related fire incident was recorded at some point, though no civilian injuries were reported.

Risk rating

How 2475-2477 San Bruno Ave'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.
