Rent & eviction protection

Is 943-951 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 1911

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 1911
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 943-951 Greenwich Street in Russian Hill is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1911 and currently owned by 945-951 Greenwich LLC. The building has undergone several significant modifications and improvements over the years, with the most recent major work occurring in 2019 when permits were filed for new sidewalk stairs and the construction of a 4-story residential building with two additional dwelling units, along with the demolition of a 1-story garage. This project received Planning Department approvals, including a variance to encroach into the rear yard. Previous maintenance work includes kitchen and bathroom remodeling with plumbing permits in 2010, and various structural repairs such as stair replacements in the rear yard (1996) and roofing work (1988).

The building has experienced some notable issues related to habitability and safety in the early 2000s, including two separate complaints in 2001-2005 periods regarding inadequate heating and fire safety violations (missing fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and emergency exits), though all these violations were officially abated. A 2002 complaint about an unpermitted heater flue installation was also resolved. Since then, the most recent complaints and service requests have been routine in nature, with no active violations or complaints on record since 2010. Recent minor incidents, such as a parking violation (2023) and a street service request (2020), do not significantly impact the building's overall condition or safety profile.

Risk rating

How 943-951 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
41stpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 668 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
