Rent & eviction protection

Is 1287-1295 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 1907
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1907
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 three-story multi-family residential building at 1287-1295 Green Street in Russian Hill, owned by Kong Siuling, is a 6-unit structure built in 1907. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, including multiple permitted modifications to unit layouts and infrastructure. Recent major work includes kitchen and bathroom renovations in multiple units (2021-2022), electrical upgrades with new sub-panels (2021-2022), and seismic mitigation work completed under the Tier 3 Soft-Story program. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues, most notably a 2022 sanitation violation regarding inadequate garbage receptacles and a 2021 complaint about unpermitted renovation work and lead paint debris containment. Historical violations from 2003 included concerns about drainage pipes, egress obstructions, stair repairs, and emergency exit features, though these were all resolved within two months. The property has undergone routine maintenance and safety improvements, including handrail replacements, dry rot repairs, and various safety code compliance updates.

The building's recent maintenance history shows active management, with multiple plumbing and electrical permits issued for unit upgrades and infrastructure improvements. A recent series of 311 calls in 2024 indicates ongoing maintenance of the surrounding area, though primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance rather than building-specific issues. Notably, there have been no recorded structural safety issues or significant fire incidents in recent years, and all soft-story retrofit requirements have been completed and certified. The property has maintained compliance with building codes and fire safety requirements, with recent violations being addressed promptly and through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 1287-1295 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
34thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 748 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
