Duboce Triangle, SF 94114 3562007 3 units · 4 fl · 1907

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2342-2348 Market 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 1907

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 1907
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 2342-2348 Market Street in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood is a 4-story mixed-use building constructed in 1907, containing three residential units and commercial space, currently owned by the Donald L Kafka Living Trust. The building has undergone numerous significant modifications and maintenance work over the years. Most recently, facade improvements are underway as evidenced by a tile installation permit filed in May 2024, along with electrical upgrades including a new sub-panel and circuits completed in same month. The building's historical significance includes being home to several notable bars and entertainment venues, such as Jet and Trigger, with various expansion and renovation projects documented through planning records.

The property has experienced multiple regulatory and safety-related events, including fire safety concerns. In early 2023, there were two complaints about overcrowding in the place of assembly, with one being marked as "Condition Corrected." Previous fire safety records show several shared space-related issues between 2021-2023. The building underwent substantial improvements in 2008-2009, including the installation of a 35-head fire sprinkler system and significant electrical upgrades including a 300-amp service change. Historical building code violations primarily related to unpermitted construction and unauthorized sprinkler installations were resolved by 2012. Recent maintenance patterns show active management, with ongoing attention to building systems as evidenced by the 2024 electrical upgrades and facade improvements, though there have been some concerns about the surrounding area as indicated by multiple recent 311 calls regarding encampments and debris near the property, with the most recent complaint being about graffiti in December 2024.

Risk rating

How 2342-2348 Market 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
35thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 187 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
