Rent & eviction protection

Is 447-449 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.

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 1926
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

447-449 Greenwich Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1926 in Telegraph Hill, currently containing three units and owned by Robert J & Kelly J Kaplan R. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the past decade. Between 2013-2014, substantial improvements were made including garage upgrades, window replacements, and the installation of new utilities, with the entire building receiving three tankless water heaters. The building has experienced several compliance issues, most notably in 2014 when a complaint was filed regarding unpermitted construction at the basement level, leading to additional revisions and the removal of unauthorized kitchen and bathroom facilities, while also generating multiple building code violations that were eventually abated.

More recent history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, with particular attention to fire safety systems. A sleeping area violation was issued in November 2023, and there have been previous fire system-related complaints in 2016, 2017, and 2023, most of which were resolved with conditions corrected. The building has shown responsiveness to maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades between 2013-2014, including bathroom remodels, furnace replacements, and comprehensive electrical system improvements. The property has experienced typical urban issues such as tree root damage to sidewalks and periodic parking enforcement matters, as documented in 311 calls, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 447-449 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
84thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 109 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
