Rent & eviction protection

Is 796-798 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.

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.

Just-cause eviction

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 796-798 Green Street property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by the Carol Webster Millie Trust. The building underwent significant renovations in 2015-2016, with approximately $400,000 in improvements including major kitchen and bathroom remodeling, garage space conversion, and various structural updates. The project involved comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades, including a 400-amp electrical panel upgrade, new radiant heating installation, and complete plumbing renovations for multiple bathrooms and kitchens. The building's hardware and fire safety systems received attention during this period, with new smoke detectors and other safety improvements being installed.

The property has a history of routine inspections and violations primarily from the mid-2000s, particularly in 2005 and 2008, which were resolved and abated by July 2005. These violations included issues with fire safety equipment, exterior stairs, and plumbing systems, but no active violations are currently on record. The building underwent a tenant buyout in June 2015 for $38,000 involving two tenants, and subsequent remodeling work was completed between 2015-2016. Recent records from 2022-2024 show primarily street-related issues outside the building, including reports of abandoned vehicles, graffiti, and general cleaning needs, which have all been addressed by appropriate city departments. The property appears to have maintained compliance with housing codes since the major renovations and does not have any current building violations or complaints on record.

Risk rating

How 796-798 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
63rdpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 134 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
