Rent & eviction protection

Is 230 Anza 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

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

230 Anza Street is a 2-story multi-family residential building located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Jag Capital Development LLC. The property has a complex history of construction and compliance issues, most notably recent concerns regarding its vacant status. Most significantly, there is currently an active complaint from 2019 regarding work performed beyond the scope of two expired permits (201506229526 and 201506088434), where approximately 75% of the first and second floors underwent unauthorized reframing, affecting walls, roof, and floor assemblies. The building has been subject to multiple violations of the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance, with non-compliance issues recorded in 2016, 2019, and most recently in November 2023 requiring monthly monitoring fees. Previous attempted improvements and repairs, including a proposed conversion to three units with additional stories and a roof deck (2016), and several permitted renovations in 2015 for kitchen and bathroom renovations, roof repairs, and foundation work, appear to have been only partially completed or not properly finalized.

Recent 311 calls and complaints from 2023-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and encampment issues in the vicinity of the property. The most recent inspection in early 2025 documented concerns about human waste, while previous reports cited issues with various types of debris and abandoned materials. Planning records show attempts to modify the property's configuration to include three residential units and add a basement level, as well as discussions about upgrading the building to have a new sprinkler system throughout, though many of these proposals have seen varying degrees of progress or withdrawal. The property's historical records from the 1980s show previous routine maintenance of stairs and siding, but the building has experienced increasingly significant structural and compliance issues in recent years, with particular attention required to address the expired permits and vacant building violations.

Risk rating

How 230 Anza 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
9thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 472 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
