Rent & eviction protection

Is 2012-2014 Broadway 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 1900
2 or more units

Property type

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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

This three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building in Pacific Heights, owned by Harry Y & Beatrice Hom Revo, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone significant renovations and upgrades over the past decade. The most substantial work occurred between 2014-2022, including a major horizontal addition at the rear ($900,000) and comprehensive systems overhauls. Notable recent improvements include the installation of a new fire sprinkler system ($54,000), fire alarm monitoring system ($4,000), complete electrical rewiring for all units (2022), new gas lines for all units (2021), and substantial plumbing upgrades including bathroom remodels and kitchen renovations (2005). The building has had several permit and code-related issues, particularly in 2019-2020, when there were concerns about expired permits, security during construction, and potential problems with adjacent properties' foundations. A significant complaint was filed in December 2022 regarding unauthorized excavation work and retaining wall concerns, though this was marked as not active in January 2023.

The building's history includes some notable violations from 2001 concerning safety issues that were ultimately abated by 2003, including problems with fire escape ladders, gas shutoff tools, and electrical wiring. A previous pattern of illegal short-term rentals was documented but resolved in 2018 through intervention by city authorities. Recent years have shown consistent building maintenance and systems improvements, with particular attention paid to fire safety systems and unit-specific upgrades. The property has experienced regular parking enforcement issues, evidenced by multiple complaints about blocked driveways in 2023-2024, and occasional concerns about garbage and debris in the surrounding area, though these are municipal service matters rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 2012-2014 Broadway'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
7thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 896 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
