Rent & eviction protection

Is 2115 Geneva 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 before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
NC1
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 2115 Geneva Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Thomas Spencer J Trustee Of. The building's history shows significant regulatory challenges, particularly regarding its use classification. The ground floor was originally designed as commercial space with one residential unit above, but has experienced unauthorized conversions resulting in various enforcement actions. Although several permit applications were made between 1982 and 2018 to address various improvements (including door and window installations, reroofing, and unit reconfigurations), many were cancelled or expired, most notably a 2018 application to convert the building to three residential units which was ultimately withdrawn.

Recent complaints regarding the building have raised serious concerns about resident conditions. Most notably, a March 2024 complaint documented water intrusion through windows leading to mold growth and wall deterioration, with building management allegedly unresponsive to the issues. The property has a documented history of unauthorized unit conversions and associated mold problems, with active complaints dating back to 2006 and 2018 regarding possible illegal units. Several building violations are pending resolution, including a 2006 case regarding unauthorized commercial space use and 2018 complaints about change of use without proper permits. The building has also faced maintenance and safety challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage, graffiti, and public space maintenance issues. While some historical fire violations from 2008 were recorded, specific details about their nature and resolution are not provided in the current data set.

Risk rating

How 2115 Geneva 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

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
82ndpercentile

Out of 214 buildings in this neighborhood, 39 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location
