Rent & eviction protection

Is 2875-2879 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 1900
2 or more units

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.

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 three-story multi-family residential building at 2875-2879 Mission St, owned by George B & Gladys V Webb Co, has a complex maintenance history since its construction in 1900. The property is currently undergoing work related to a house trap installation, with permits issued in November 2024 for the recommencement and completion of work originally permitted in 2019, which also included floor rebuilding at levels 2 & 3, bathroom renovations, and plumbing work. The building has had several significant maintenance projects over the years, including reroofing in 2015, the addition of a second means of egress stair in 2003, and the resolution of minor fire damage in 1989.

The property has faced various compliance issues, most notably the ongoing house trap violation that dates back to February 2004 and a 2021 complaint about unpermitted work and unauthorized business operations, which remains active. Additional concerns have included broken windows (2009) and multiple fire alarm activations, though none resulted in injuries or actual fires. Recent maintenance records show regular attention to plumbing and electrical systems, particularly regarding bathroom renovations., and there have been multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street cleaning and sidewalk conditions, including a collapsed sidewalk issue reported in June 2024. The building's fire safety systems have experienced several false alarms, though these were unintentional and resulted in no incidents.

Risk rating

How 2875-2879 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
