Rent & eviction protection

Is 60-62 Grenard Ter 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 1948

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.

Built 1948
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

This two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located at 60-62 Grenard Terrace in Russian Hill was constructed in 1948 and is currently owned by Lombard Terrace LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most notable recent change being the legalization of an additional studio dwelling unit on the first floor in 2019, which included a kitchen and bathroom (project cost: $80,000). The building has received substantial interior upgrades, including comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels between 2011-2012, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $100,000. The property experienced some maintenance challenges, including a structural termite treatment in 2016 and window replacements in 2005, along with two complaints in 2011 regarding construction work exceeding permit scope.

Recent service records show ongoing building maintenance activity, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 related to sewer issues, sidewalk blockages, and noise complaints. Particularly striking is the most recent construction-related tuning concerning "excessive noise" reported in September 2024. The building's history includes routine housing inspections in 2003, 2006, 2008, and 2011, with some violations noted in 2003 relating to security and fire safety, though all have been resolved. The property underwent significant renovation and expansion work between 2019-2020, including the addition of a front deck and trash enclosure, requiring proper screening. Recent 311 calls suggest ongoing maintenance and infrastructure challenges, including sewage backup issues in early 2024 and tree maintenance concerns blocking the sidewalk.

Risk rating

How 60-62 Grenard Ter'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.
