Rent & eviction protection

Is 2695 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
2 or more units

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 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

2695 Greenwich Street is a 4-story, 20-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927 in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including a sewer repair with new house trap and pipe sections in 2020, and the installation of a replacement domestic hot water boiler in 2017. Historical records show earlier improvements such as parapet work completed in 1993 and a major compliance upgrade in 1985. The building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues, with the most recent complaint in September 2023 regarding cigarette smoke infiltration into common areas and a unit. A concerning incident occurred in September 2022 involving broken window glass with safety implications. Between 2007 and 2022, the building faced multiple violations and complaints, including elevator outages, heating system problems, and various fire safety concerns that required attention to fire extinguishers and alarm systems.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to critical systems, with plumbing repairs and infrastructure upgrades being regularly performed. A series of 311 calls in recent years primarily relate to parking enforcement issues in front of the building, with multiple reports of blocked driveways between 2021 and 2024. The building has experienced occasional fire alarm activations, though records indicate these were unintentional with no fires or civilian injuries reported. Recent building management actions appear to have addressed most historical violations and complaints, with many cases being marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Resolved." The property has maintained its residential function throughout its history and continues to undergo necessary repairs and improvements as required by city regulations.

Risk rating

How 2695 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
