Rent & eviction protection

Is 1254-1256 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 before 1979
Built 1911
2 or more units

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.

15+ years since occupancy
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 1254-1256 Green Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1911, currently owned by the Lily P Lee Living Trust. The building's maintenance history shows some significant events, with the most notable being a 2000 incident involving overhead leaks that resulted in a Notice of Violation being issued, though this was promptly addressed and abated within two months of filing. In 1987, building improvements were made to replace plaster in the hallway with half sheet rock, a project that was completed successfully.

More recently, the property has experienced several environmental and maintenance issues in the surrounding area, with multiple 311 calls recorded in 2024-2025. These include reports of garbage and debris (including Christmas trees and bagged garbage), property damage related to tree maintenance, and an abandoned vehicle complaint, all of which were resolved by the respective city departments. While these recent incidents primarily concern the exterior and public space around the property rather than the building itself, they may be of interest to potential residents regarding the immediate neighborhood environment.

Risk rating

How 1254-1256 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
68thpercentile
