Rent & eviction protection

Is 1871-1875 Greenwich 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 1900

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 1900
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 property at 1871-1875 Greenwich Street is a three-story multi-family residential building built in 1900, containing three units and currently owned by Max William Rosenak. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent being issued permits for kitchen and bathroom remodeling in November 2024, valued at $45,000. Previous major work includes roofing replacement in 2002 with 40-year shingles, and plumbing system improvements in 2011 that addressed several vent pipe issues, including strapping, replacement of cracked pipes, and proper gutter installation.

The building has faced multiple code compliance issues over its history, with the most substantial cluster of violations occurring in 2011, when problems were identified with the rear stairs, ventilation systems, and drainage infrastructure. These violations were subsequently addressed and abated. Earlier compliance issues included a 2003 incident involving unauthorized signage, which was resolved through proper channels. The property has maintained regular inspections, including routine evaluations in 1999 and 2007, and has undergone several necessary repairs including drainage pipe repairs and handrail installation. More recent concerns have primarily involved exterior maintenance matters such as tree overgrowth (most recently reported in December 2024) and parking issues, with the most recent 311 calls focusing on these exterior maintenance topics rather than interior building conditions.

Risk rating

How 1871-1875 Greenwich 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
64thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 310 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
