Rent & eviction protection

Is 325 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 three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 325 Green St in Telegraph Hill, owned by Guido Costella Gstt Exempt, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1916, most notably completing a mandatory soft story seismic retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $65,000, achieving Tier 3 compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion. The building has seen consistent window improvements throughout the years, with multiple projects between 2010 and 2013 replacing various windows in units #1, #2, #3, and #4 with energy-efficient options, including vinyl and wood windows with U-factors of 0.30. A notable bathroom renovation was completed in 2009 for unit #3, involving comprehensive updates to the half-bath and kitchen sink for $16,000.

The building's safety systems received attention in 2005 when violations were recorded regarding smoke detector requirements at stairwells and emergency exiting, though these issues were promptly resolved by August 2005. While there have been multiple routine housing inspections recorded in 2000 and 2010, and a single graffiti incident reported in 2020, there are no active building violations on record. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, particularly between 2022 and 2023, though these are street-related matters outside the building's direct management. The building's maintenance and improvement history suggests regular upkeep and responsiveness to safety requirements, with no recent building-specific complaints or violations impacting resident safety or comfort.

Risk rating

How 325 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
43rdpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 390 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
