Rent & eviction protection

Is 982 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.

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

982 Green Street is a three-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1900, the property underwent significant changes between 2011 and 2018, including a controversial unit merger project that converted three units into two, along with various renovations. Most notably, there are active concerns regarding unpermitted construction of a rear horizontal addition, side additions, and garage structures, which were documented in a 2017 violation complaint that is still pending resolution. Multiple building permits were filed between 2011 and 2015, including foundation work, bathroom remodels, and electrical upgrades, with some permits showing as suspended or incomplete. The property has undergone several infrastructure improvements, including plumbing upgrades, electrical rewiring, and the installation of two fireplaces, with completed work totaling over $200,000.

The building's history includes routine housing inspections (2000-2006) and several fire alarm incidents, though no significant fires have been reported. Recent issues primarily involve parking enforcement matters, with multiple complaints about vehicles blocking driveways under various citations issued throughout 2023-2024. Current planning records indicate ongoing efforts to address previously unpermitted work at the property, with applications under review to legalize improvements and address building code compliance issues. The building's infrastructure appears generally maintained, with most recent complaints relating to parking rather than building condition or safety. The property's complex history of renovations and compliance issues suggests ongoing oversight from both building and planning departments to resolve historic violations and unauthorized modifications.

Risk rating

How 982 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
73rdpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 306 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
