Rent & eviction protection

Is 1450-1462 Grant Ave 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 1909
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 1450-1462 Grant Avenue, located in San Francisco's Telegraph Hill neighborhood, is a 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, containing 5 units and currently owned by Regina Georgopoulos. The building has experienced several significant events over the past two decades, most notably a series of issues related to vacant commercial storefronts between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent violation filed in February 2023 being resolved in August 2023. In 2016, emergency structural work was completed to address dry rot and foundation issues, costing $15,000. The building also underwent substantial improvements in 2008-2009, including the installation of an HVAC system, commercial kitchen equipment, and electrical upgrades for a restaurant space.

Recent concerns have centered around maintenance and safety issues, with the most pressing being a gas leak incident recorded in December 2021 and multiple fire code violations in the same month. The building has had recurring problems with exterior maintenance and compliance with commercial storefront regulations, though these issues have been generally addressed following inspections. The property has undergone various infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including the installation of an ADA bathroom (2017), a new electrical panel (2017), and plumbing improvements, though some work has been performed without proper permits in the past, including unauthorized re-roofing in 2007. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic safety systems, with most violations being promptly addressed, though there have been recurring issues with fire safety equipment and commercial storefront compliance that suggest ongoing challenges with building management and maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1450-1462 Grant Ave'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
11thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 609 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
