Rent & eviction protection

Is 946-948 Greenwich 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 1908

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 1908
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 946-948 Greenwich Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, currently under the ownership of the April Vivian Tong Trust. Built in 1908, this flats and duplex style building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. Most notably, in 2023, substantial work was completed including the removal of a load bearing wall with new posts and beams, replacement of the furnace with a gas heat pump, and laundry replumbing, along with electrical upgrades including sub-panel relocation and new outlet installations. The property has seen considerable modernization efforts between 2020-2021, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, window modifications, structural repairs, and stair replacements totaling over $132,000 in improvements. A notable building violation was filed in January 2020 regarding unpermitted construction work, though this was abated by March 2023. Earlier maintenance history shows roof replacement and window upgrades in 1996, while more recent plumbing work in 2022 and 2023 indicates ongoing system improvements. The building's maintenance record shows a commitment to updating and improving the property, though prospective tenants should note the property's 2020 violation history and the substantial construction work that has occurred over the past few years.

Risk rating

How 946-948 Greenwich 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
40thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 680 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
