Rent & eviction protection

Is 267-273 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 1913

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 21-unit, 4-story apartment building at 267-273 Green Street in Telegraph Hill, built in 1913, has undergone substantial recent renovations and maintenance, though it currently faces several fire safety compliance issues. Most notably, in 2024, the building received violations regarding alarm system maintenance and UL certification records, with an additional open violation related to sleeping area requirements from November 2023. The building has demonstrated proactive maintenance and improvements, including multiple unit renovations between 2021-2022 that involved kitchen and bathroom rehabs, washer/dryer installations, and electrical upgrades across several units (including Units 2, 3, 8, and 271A), along with fire sprinkler system modifications in Unit 2. Significant infrastructure work includes the installation of a new 400A electrical service in 2022 and the completion of mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting.

Historically, there have been various maintenance and safety concerns, particularly in the 2000s and 2010s, including issues with fire safety equipment (fire extinguishers, smoke detectors), problematic rear porches with dry rot, water leaks affecting the hillside, and unauthorized removal of stairs. Recent years (2016-2024) have shown more consistent maintenance responses, though recurring issues with exterior lighting, stairway safety, and flood lights have been documented through tenant complaints. The property has also been subject to tenant buyouts, with one unit reportedly compensated $325,000 in 2019. The building's current owners, SF 267 Green Street LLC, have completed important safety improvements such as upgrading the fire alarm system to include low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas (2020) and maintaining 1-hour separation between units during renovations, though the recent fire violation citations indicate ongoing regulatory compliance challenges that require attention.

Risk rating

How 267-273 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
