Rent & eviction protection

Is 66-70 Calhoun Ter 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.

Built 1939
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 66-70 Calhoun Terrace is a 2-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1939, currently owned by the Elizabeth M Brown 1995 Trust. The building has undergone significant improvements in recent years, including major foundation work, interior alterations, and kitchen/bathroom remodeling in 2020 (cost: $335,000), along with a complete electrical rewiring and new sub-panels installation in 2021. In 2022, the property received a new roof (cost: $30,000) and radiant heating installation, while 2023 saw the completion of a solar panel installation project featuring 30 modules with 11.4 kW capacity.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues, particularly during its recent construction period. Multiple complaints were filed in 2022-2023 regarding construction noise, blocked sidewalks, and parking violations, though most were addressed promptly. There have been recurring fire safety inspection complaints, primarily between 2016-2024, including issues with extinguishers and alarm systems, though investigations consistently found no merit or resulted in prompt correction. More recently, between September 2024 and January 2025, there have been several reports of blocked sidewalks and graffiti, with one sidewalk defect related to lifting being noted as "open accepted" by Public Works. The property has maintained regular permit compliance, with all identified violations being promptly abated, though two solar panel installation permits were canceled in 2022-2023 before the project was successfully completed.

Risk rating

How 66-70 Calhoun Ter'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
34thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 451 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
