Rent & eviction protection

Is 2688 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 before 1979
Built 1927

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.

Built 1927
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 2688 Greenwich St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Gloria G. Lopez. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including a completed furnace replacement in September 2020, electrical improvements in 2019-2020 to address safety concerns with knob-and-tube wiring and outdated electrical systems, and a roofing project in 1996 (now expired). Of particular note is a building complaint filed in December 2021 regarding unauthorized bathroom remodeling work that allegedly occurred in the weeks leading up to the complaint, though this case is currently listed as not active.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly during 2021 when there were multiple reports (nine in total) of driveway blocking incidents, with at least three resulting in citations being issued. More recently, there have been additional parking-related complaints, including two driveway blocking incidents in December 2023 and February 2024, though these cases were either resolved or officers were unable to locate the vehicles in question. The most recent service request was made in September 2024 regarding garbage and debris, which has since been resolved. A project review meeting was held for the property in March 2001, though the records indicate this was considered informational with no specific developer involved.

Risk rating

How 2688 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
50thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 430 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
