Rent & eviction protection

Is 2852-2854 Mission 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 1916
2 or more units

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.

Built 1916
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 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2852-2854 Mission Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Gjoni Gjon, was constructed in 1916 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related events over its lifetime. Most recently, in 2023, there were issues with peeling paint that raised lead hazard concerns, which were abated by November 2023. The building has undergone various safety improvements, including a fire alarm system upgrade in 2018 (with completion confirmed by electrical permits) and the installation of a kitchen fire suppression system in 2017. Historical records show multiple fire code violations between 2006 and 2020, though most have been addressed and abated, including issues with alarm systems, fire extinguishers, and emergency lighting.

The property has required substantial structural attention, with a $31,000 reroofing project in 2019 and various other proposed improvements, including a cancelled seismic retrofit project in 2018 and work related to building foundations in 2017. There have been recurring maintenance issues evident through 311 calls and complaints, with multiple reports in 2024 regarding graffiti, sidewalk cleaning, and noise concerns. The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, particularly from 2006-2020, though recent improvements suggest attention to these issues. Notably, there were several fire escape and lead paint violations recorded in 2004-2005, which were abated, and the property has undergone periodic maintenance to address various infrastructure needs, including drainage systems and foundation repairs.

Risk rating

How 2852-2854 Mission 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
37thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1499 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
