Rent & eviction protection

Is 2440-2442 Bay Shore Blvd 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 1926

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.

Built 1926
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 2440-2442 Bay Shore Boulevard property is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1926, containing three residential units and ground-floor commercial space. The building has undergone several significant transformations, most notably converting the ground floor from a vacant community center to a medical cannabis dispensary (Elevated Systems) in 2016, with subsequent modifications to cannabis retail operations in 2018. This conversion involved substantial improvements including new partitions, finishes, and accessible restrooms, with mechanical and electrical work totaling approximately $25,000. The dispensary underwent a recent administrative permit modification in 2020 to change hours of operation, though no physical changes were made.

The property has seen various improvements and maintenance work over the years, including a 2012 renovation of Apartment #2 involving kitchen remodeling and electrical upgrades, and significant plumbing work including the replacement of sewer lateral and house trap in 2018. The building's maintenance history shows compliance with building codes, though there was a cluster of violations in 2000 related to interior surfaces, including mold/mildew, damaged walls, and lack of smoke detectors, all of which were abated by December 2000. Recent concerns include a December 2024 incident involving a fallen roof tile, and multiple reports of overflowing public garbage cans in early 2025. The property has a history of permit compliance issues in the early 2000s, with several complaints about unauthorized construction and illegal units, though these have been resolved and marked as not active. The ground-floor commercial space has undergone various improvements including new awnings, signage, and storefront modifications, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and investment in the property.

Risk rating

How 2440-2442 Bay Shore Blvd'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
25thpercentile

Out of 214 buildings in this neighborhood, 160 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
