Rent & eviction protection

Is 1425 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 1975

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 1975
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, five-unit multi-family residential building at 1425 Greenwich Street in Russian Hill, owned by Jair Jack & Rose Marie, was constructed in 1975 and has undergone several significant events throughout its history. Most notably, the building faced mandatory participation in San Francisco's Soft Story Retrofit Program as a Tier 3 building, with an initial $18,000 retrofit completed in 2017. However, the property has an active violation from October 2019 regarding failure to properly complete the mandatory seismic retrofit work, resulting in the issuance of multiple notices and a final warning letter in January 2020. The building has experienced several safety-related issues over the years, including a serious incident in 1997 involving severe water damage, mold, and carpet problems in hallways and the garage, which took until 2000 to resolve. A routine housing inspection in 2005 revealed multiple safety concerns including problems with smoke detectors, emergency exits, emergency exit lighting, and combustible material storage in the garage, though these issues were all addressed by May 2005.

The property has undergone regular inspections, including a "Routine" inspection in 2011, and there was a complaint in 1998 regarding an alleged illegal sixth unit, though this was resolved by December 1998. More recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of external issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 related to street cleaning and debris removal, including reports of garbage, broken glass, and human waste near the property. Three abandoned vehicle complaints were filed between December 2022 and January 2023, though all vehicles were gone upon inspection. The most recent soft story compliance record indicates that while initial retrofit work was completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) was issued, the building remains under active violation status as of January 2020.

Risk rating

How 1425 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
28thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 816 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

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