Rent & eviction protection

Is 1688-1698 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 before 1979
Built 1904
2 or more units

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 1904
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 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1688-1698 Green Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Abuyaghi Properties LLC and constructed in 1904, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017 with the installation of shear walls, achieving Tier 3 status and receiving a Certificate of Final Completion. Historical records show multiple window replacements in the 1990s, kitchen and bathroom upgrades in 1998 (which are now expired), and a reroofing project in 1993. The building has faced some building safety and maintenance issues, particularly during a routine safety inspection in 2013 which identified several violations including drainage pipe deterioration, safety equipment requirements, and lead paint concerns, all of which were subsequently abated.

Recent activity around the building has been primarily related to street maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding sanitation matters, including recent reports of human/animal waste and debris on the street. There have been three fire department incidents recorded, but none resulted in civilian injuries, and included a water evacuation, a false alarm, and a HazMat investigation that revealed no actual HazMat presence. The building's most recent documented issues were regarding street cleaning matters, with several resolved cases in 2024, including furniture removal and general cleaning.

Risk rating

How 1688-1698 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
20thpercentile
