Rent & eviction protection

Is 2875 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 1951
2 or more units

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

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 18-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2875 Greenwich St in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, built in 1951, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the past two decades, with particular attention to seismic safety and building systems. Most notably, the building completed a seismic soft-story retrofit in 2015-2016 at a cost of $113,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's mandatory earthquake safety requirements. The building received substantial electrical system improvements in 2003 with an upgrade to 40 new circuit breaker panels and meters for all units, and in 2013 a wall heater replacement was completed. The property has experienced recurring issues with maintenance and infrastructure, including multiple instances of termite and dry rot damage (most recently in 2011), and a significant plumbing concern in 2009 regarding potential sewer leakage affecting neighboring properties.

Recent concerns include an active complaint from July 2024 regarding failure to properly retrofit for soft-story compliance, though previous seismic upgrade work was documented as complete. In early 2023, the building faced violations related to lead abatement procedures and weather protection, which have since been marked as not active. The building's safety systems have been a recurring focus of attention, with a 2007 violation regarding the central alarm system and fire proofing materials, both of which were subsequently resolved. Regular maintenance work has been documented, including exterior repairs, roofing work in 2000 and 2001, and various street space permits over the years. The property has experienced frequent issues with parking violations in recent years, with multiple citations issued for blocked driveways, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety systems.

Risk rating

How 2875 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
24thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 654 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
