Rent & eviction protection

Is 1204 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

The two-unit residential building at 1204 Green Street in Russian Hill, owned by Adam S. Ng, is a two-story flat and store structure built in 1911. The property is currently undergoing accessibility improvements, with two permits filed in September 2023 totaling $9,804 to comply with the accessible business entrance program, including door replacements and hardware modifications. This follows a pattern of accessibility-related work, as evidenced by a previous withdrawn permit from 2019 intended to address mandatory disability access requirements for both this building and a neighboring property.

The building's maintenance history includes a reroofing project completed in 2009 at a cost of $17,500, and various street space and sidewalk repair permits issued between 2006-2007, all of which were completed. A withdrawal notice for a 2006 proposal to install a micro cellular panel antenna was also recorded. The property has experienced some recent neighborhood issues, with multiple parking enforcement citations issued between February and October 2024, and several street cleaning matters being reported, including garbage and debris (resolved in August 2024), human or animal waste (September 2023), and a currently open general cleaning issue from February 2024. Tree maintenance issues have been reported in 2023 and 2024, though records show at least one was cancelled. A bicycle sharing operations complaint was filed in December 2023 and determined to be invalid.

Risk rating

How 1204 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
87thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 147 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
