Local market context in San Francisco

San Francisco sits inside a market where one of the most heavily rent controlled markets in the united states, strict eviction protections, dense institutional ownership of multifamily, and property management work reflects that. The San Francisco Rent Board handles tenancy issues under San Francisco Rent Ordinance and California Civil Code Section 1940. Trade scope that crosses the code threshold gets a no permit for leasing scope. Victorian and edwardian flats in the central neighborhoods in Sunset carries different fault patterns than modern high-rise condo in the Financial District in Noe Valley, and we plan parts and labor accordingly.
