Rent & eviction protection

Is 850-854 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 1928

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 1928
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-unit, three-story building at 850-854 Greenwich Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood was constructed in 1928 and has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, most notably in 2020-2022. The property underwent substantial safety improvements with the installation of a fire sprinkler system (including 27 heads and underground fire line) and a fire alarm system, both completed in accordance with NFPA standards. In 2022, there were two permit modifications related to a basement unit, including a revision to swap the locations of a bathroom and stairs, as well as a correction to the symbol legend. The building's permit activity over the past seven years has been relatively limited, with a total of six permits issued and construction costs amounting to $37,002.

A notable cluster of activities occurred in July 2026, with seven 311 service requests filed within a three-week period, all related to illegal parking issues in the vicinity of the building. Most of these complaints were addressed by responding officers, with at least three resulting in citations being issued, while two others were marked as "Unable to Locate" the reported violation. This recent pattern of parking-related complaints represents the most significant concentration of issues on record for the property, though it appears to be primarily related to street conditions rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 850-854 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
80thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 227 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
