Rent & eviction protection

Is 675-677 Spruce 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 1900
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

RH2
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

The three-unit residential property at 675-677 Spruce St, owned by Frank & Jean Wu Tong Revoc, is a two-story flats and duplex building constructed in 1900 in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant renovations, most notably a comprehensive $135,600 remodel of all three units' kitchens and bathrooms, along with window and sliding door replacements, which was issued in November 2024. A major structural issue was addressed in April 2024, when the front main staircase required repair due to significant dry rot, a concern that had previously led to multiple violations in 2004. The building had several safety violations documented during a December 2004 routine inspection, including issues with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, gas meter instructions, and staircase repairs, all of which were abated by February 2005.

Prior to these recent improvements, the building had undergone reroofing work in 2017 and 1989, demonstrating regular maintenance over the years. The property has had three housing inspections on record: a possible illegal units investigation in 1994 (closed in 1995), and routine inspections in 2000 and 2004. Recent exterior maintenance issues have been minimal, with only minor service calls reported, including a street light repair in 2016 and responses to waste management and parking concerns in 2022 and 2024 respectively. The building's maintenance history shows attention to addressing both structural and safety concerns, culminating in recent significant interior and exterior renovations that enhance the property's overall condition and safety features.

Risk rating

How 675-677 Spruce 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
32ndpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 185 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
