Rent & eviction protection

Is 90 Terra Vista Ave 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 1963
2 or more units

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 1963
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 10-unit, 5-story apartment building at 90 Terra Vista Ave in the Anza Vista neighborhood, built in 1963 and currently owned by David Hwang, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building received a substantial fire safety upgrade, including a new fire alarm system installation at a cost of $49,999 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. This was preceded by electrical work that included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and an upgrade to the fire alarm panel. The building has also seen major infrastructure improvements, including a complete reroofing project in 2023 costing $35,000, the replacement of electrical sub-panels in 2018, and a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2017 to improve seismic safety.

Historical maintenance records show attention to various building systems, including plumbing upgrades such as a water heater replacement in 2010 and gas line work in 2020. The building experienced some fire safety compliance issues in 2008, specifically regarding storage in the garage and fire alarm certification, but these were resolved within two months. Several routine safety inspections have been conducted over the years, with identified issues typically being promptly corrected, including fire extinguisher and alarm system concerns in 2016 and 2017. Recent 311 calls primarily document issues such as graffiti, noise complaints, and parking violations, with the most concerning being a 2024 mechanical equipment noise complaint that is currently open. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to roofing (with multiple reroofing projects noted) and periodic exterior repairs, including stucco work in 1992 and 2000. The property has maintained compliance with current building safety requirements, as evidenced by its Tier 3 soft-story retrofit completion status and the absence of active violations.

Risk rating

How 90 Terra Vista Ave'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
5thpercentile

Out of 136 buildings in this neighborhood, 129 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.
