Rent & eviction protection

Is 80-90 Alta 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.

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 12-unit multi-family residential building at 80-90 Alta Street, located in Telegraph Hill and owned by Giampaolo Boschetti, was constructed in 1961 and spans three stories. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns over the years, with the most recent being a mold issue reported in January 2024 and ongoing concerns about fire extinguisher maintenance. Notable violations include a 2017 Soft Story Tier 3 issue due to an unfiled permit, which was abated in November 2017, and multiple fire safety violations in 2005 requiring repairs to fire escape ladders, wood stairs, and smoke detector inspections. The building underwent some structural work in 2005, including the replacement of staircase support beams and electrical system upgrades, though one electrical permit from 2005 is noted as expired. Recent maintenance challenges have included multiple sewage discharge incidents in late 2024, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has shown a pattern of fire safety inspections and violations, particularly regarding extinguishers, with the most recent violation issued in March 2024. Historical records show various routine inspections and repairs, including bathroom renovations in 2004 and a retaining wall construction in 1999. The building's compliance history indicates attention to various safety requirements, though with recurring maintenance issues that have required multiple interventions over time.

Risk rating

How 80-90 Alta 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
0thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 684 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
