Rent & eviction protection

Is 280-282 Jersey 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 1900
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH2
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 2-story, 3-unit apartment building at 280-282 Jersey Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Moller Survivors Trust, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the years. Most recently, in 2023, there were concerns raised about potential illegal unit additions, electrical work done without permits, and zoning inconsistencies, particularly regarding an electric car charging station in the garage area. The building has experienced notable incidents requiring attention, including a fire in 2012 that caused damage necessitating repairs to lights, switches, and receptacles, as well as several renovation projects. Between 2018-2019, substantial maintenance work was performed including window replacements, garage slab restoration, and stair repairs. The building's systems have seen upgrades such as a new 125-amp overhead service installation in 2012, and various plumbing improvements including kitchen renovations in unit 282. The property has had routine inspections and street space permits issued, with some historical violations regarding egress obstruction that were resolved. While there have been occasional 311 calls regarding sidewalk parking and cleaning issues, these are typically external matters not directly affecting the building's condition. A flooding incident was reported in 2020, though it appears to have been street-related rather than building-specific.

Risk rating

How 280-282 Jersey 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
14thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1616 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
