Rent & eviction protection

Is 422 Green 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.

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 two-unit residential building at 422 Green Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Subbiah Natarajan & Duraira, has undergone significant renovation work in recent years, particularly in 2019, when extensive improvements were made including kitchen and bathroom remodels, installation of skylights, siding replacement, window upgrades, and entry door replacements. This work, totaling approximately $68,000 in interior renovations and $15,000 in exterior updates, was well-documented through building, plumbing, and electrical permits, all of which were completed successfully. The building has a troubling history from 2003 when a complaint revealed unauthorized basement conversions and safety deficiencies including inadequate egress, natural light, ventilation, and missing fire safety equipment, resulting in violations that were finally abated in 2004. Two fire safety violations were issued in 2006 regarding smoke detector requirements, though these appear to be historical and related to malfunctioning systems rather than ongoing safety concerns.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved routine urban maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2024, mostly concerning abandoned vehicles and street cleaning matters. Several planning records from 2020-2021 indicate proposals for significant redevelopment including demolition and replacement with a new building, though these applications were ultimately withdrawn. The property underwent substantial improvements in 2019, including the installation of a new furnace and comprehensive updates to bathroom and kitchen facilities, suggesting that major renovation needs were addressed. The building's violation history, while concerning, appears to have been addressed through proper permitting and remediation, and no active violations or complaints are currently on record.

Risk rating

How 422 Green 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
74thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 178 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
