Rent & eviction protection

Is 1753-1757 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.

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 multi-family residential building at 1753-1757 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Thomas Clements Lacey since 2005, was constructed in 1908 and contains 5 apartment units. The property has a documented history of deck maintenance issues, with dry rot repairs reported in 2004, 2015, and most recently in 2024, suggesting persistent structural challenges in this area. The building underwent significant interior upgrades in 2012, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, installation of new windows, and electrical improvements including a new 70-amp subpanel and various appliances. Of particular note, the building experienced multiple maintenance challenges in 2024, including an incident involving a malfunctioning refrigerator (April- July 2024) and drainage issues in the light well (May-July 2024), though both issues were eventually resolved.

Historical records show the building has undergone various maintenance work over the years, including the installation of a new roof in 1989 and 1999, and multiple electrical and plumbing updates. A variance for lot split was approved in the planning records. The property has relatively few serious complaints on record, with routine inspections occurring in 2000 and 2007, and one notable electrical complaint in 2012 regarding a complex doorbell system. Recent activity at the property includes a significant tenant buyout at 1757 Greenwich Street in July 2024, involving two tenants and totaling $71,857.50. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention is required for both structural elements and interior systems, particularly in regard to the deck areas and appliances.

Risk rating

How 1753-1757 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.
